At about 11 PM on Sunday, May 5, about 40 Israeli settlers attacked the village of Jalud, west of Salfit, and attempted to set fire to two homes with firebombs.

Attacks are typically on the homes of five families on the furthermost edge of the settlements. All of those homes now have several metal grates covering their … Continue reading

2nd May 2013 | International Solidarity Movement, Ni’lin, Occupied Palestine

Ni’lin’s demonstrations against the Apartheid Wall represented the Ni’lin population’s resilience. They would not let more land, that was the life blood of the community, be stolen.… Continue reading

UPDATE: Child arrests in Hebron continue today as a 15 year old Palestinian boy, Az Dweik, was arrested in the morning.
