TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Dozens of masked men armed with sticks attacked a plant nursery and beat and injured a Palestinian in the occupied West Bank, according to people who saw the attack and video footage obtained by The Associated Press.

Video filmed by security cameras shows men dressed mostly in black, faces covered, with several hitting and kicking a man on the ground.

Two people who witnessed the attack and are members of the family that own the facility said Israeli settlers beat 67-year-old Basim Saleh Yassin as he was trying to flee the nursery located in the northern West Bank village of Deir Sharaf. Both spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.

They said Yassin is in the hospital and has broken bones in his hand and other injuries on his face, chest and back. Four cars were burned and destroyed at the nursery.............................

None of this should be happening since Harris wasn’t elected, right?

His stories brought tears to my eyes.

Now I met another, younger one here. Different stories as he got out at a younger age. I always ask how his family are doing. Sounds like they are ok living in Jordan.

Looked it up and there aren’t very many in this country. I’ve met 2. Chance are slim to even know one.
