’Israeli’ Settlers Stab Palestinian in Al-Quds, Attack School in West Bank

A Palestinian man was stabbed by a group of "Israeli" settlers in occupied Al-Quds on Tuesday, relatives said, hours after settlers attacked a Palestinian school in the village of Urif in the occupied West Bank.

Fadi Jalal Radwan, 22, was attacked and stabbed by four "Israeli" settlers while walking in the occupied Al-Quds neighborhood of Kafr Aqab, his father said.

He was stabbed three times in the legs, and once in the back.

Radwan was found bleeding in the street and taken to Hadassah hospital for treatment. Doctors said he was in serious condition.

Also on Tuesday, dozens of "Israeli" settlers gathered along the main road between Nablus and the illegal settlement of Yizhar, witnesses said, planning to attack Palestinians and their properties.

The settlers then attacked a school in Urif, said Ghassan Daghlas, an official who monitors settler activity in the northern occupied West Bank, prompting Palestinian villagers to clash with the attackers and stop them from storming the school.

"Israeli" Occupation Forces interfered, firing tear gas and stun grenades at Palestinian villagers.
Six Palestinians were injured by "sponge rounds" in the aftermath of the clashes. Sponge-tipped bullets are made from high-density plastic with a foam-rubber head, and are fired from grenade launchers.
"Israeli" police have been using them in Occupied Palestine and occupied East Al-Quds since the use of rubber-coated metal bullets was prohibited, but protocol explicitly prohibits firing them at the upper body.

"Israel" occupied East Al-Quds and the occupied West Bank during the 1967 Middle East War. It later annexed the holy city in 1980, claiming it as the capital of the self-proclaimed Zionist entity - a move never recognized by the international community.
