JERUSALEM: Israeli forces assaulted a number of foreign solidarity activists on Saturday at the Bedouin community of Khallet Al-Sedra near the village of Mekhmas, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, and forcibly expelled them from the site.
The Jerusalem governorate said the forces made the international activists at Khallet Al-Sedra evacuate the community under coercion.
It added that more than 20 Israeli settlers gathered near Khallet Al-Sedra at the same time as the evacuation of the activists, raising fears among residents of a repeat of the recent attack on the community.
Israeli settlers severely beat three residents on the outskirts of the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, on Saturday, including a 70-year-old elderly man.
Several residents and foreign activists were injured a few days ago, and several homes and two vehicles were burned in a colonist attack on the Bedouin community.
