Palestine-Israel, Politics, 4/2/2007

The International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said that Jewish settlers assaulted two international human rights workers HRWs and stole their video cameras in Hebron.

In a press release, the ISM revealed that the settlers stole the video camera from one of the workers and ran into the direction of the Tel Rumeida Jewish settlement.

The human rights workers confronted a group of soldiers with what had just happened and they set off in the direction of the settlers.

"Four additional HRWs arrived at the scene. The soldiers began telling them that the area was a closed military zone and that the HRWs had to leave. The HRWs remained, however, when the army soldiers could not produce the legal documents, "ISM added.

"After 20 minutes, the Israeli police from Kiryat Arba showed up. They surveyed the scene but did not go further to search for the settlers who had stolen the camera. The two HRWs who were attacked by the settlers then went to Kiryat Arba police station to file a police report. The officer promised that afterward, with additional police backup, they would seek out the settler thieves."
