AT-TUWANI: Israeli settlers attack Palestinian boy and internationals in the South Hebron Hills.

 On Thursday, 21 October 2010, around 9:20 a.m., two Operation Dove volunteers, who were coming back to the village of At-Tuwani after having visited some Palestinian families in the village of Tuba, were attacked by Israeli settlers from the outpost of Havat Ma'on (Hill 833).

While walking, the internationals received a phone call from a Palestinian shepherd who was with his flock on a hill and warned them about some settlers who were quickly approaching them.  A few minutes after the phone call, two settlers with their faces covered by t-shirts appeared on the top of Meshaha hill where the internationals were walking.  The settlers started to lob stones with slingshots at the internationals who ran away and escaped injury.

Later on, around 1:00 p.m. in the same area, a similar incident happened to a Palestinian boy who was walking back home via the path on Meshaha hill.
