Event Notes

Settler attack on a schoolbus in Ein al-Duyuk

On January 25, a group of illegal Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian school bus near Ein Al-Duyuk, northwest of Jericho in the occupied West Bank, leaving children terrified and crying.

Footage shows the bus being chased and pelted with rocks while the driver was hospitalised.

Palestinians in the area have been forced to call on solidarity activists to escort school buses after repeated attacks, as police ignore and settlers face no accountability.

The incident represents only a fraction of the state-backed violence Israeli settlers continue to unleash on Palestinian civilians on a daily basis.
