'They were shooting at us with live ammunition. God helped us.' Israeli settlers attack Palestinians in the occupied West Bank's Huwara village
Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinians in the occupied West Bank's Huwara town, the scene of a violent rampageIsraeli army and border police forces dispersed crowds of settlers of what the military described as "a number of violent riots" in Huwara during the overnight attack on Monday.
Videos shared on social media showed a group of black-clad youths attacking a Palestinian car before its driver manages to pull away. "They were shooting at us with live ammunition. God helped us," said Omar Khalifa, who had just finished shopping at a supermarket and had got into the car with his family when the attack took place.
"My wife was sitting in the back and she hugged our daughter to cover her. We could have lost her, there was real danger to our lives." Other footage appeared to show Israeli soldiers dancing together with Jewish settlers in the town on what was the Jewish festival of Purim.
