Occupied Jerusalem, ALRAY - Israeli settlers on Saturday evening attacked three Palestinian families in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem.

Palestinian local activist Saleh Diab said that the settlers attacked his family in addition to the families of Nusseibeh and Hammad with bullets, pepper gas and stone throwing.

He pointed out that the extremist settlers pelted his family members with stones as they were sitting in their house’s yard, noting that one of the settlers fired live bullets towards them during the incident.

Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory suffer from almost daily attacks by the Israeli occupation forces and settlers, resulting in many injuries and sometimes martyrs among them.
