In Pictures: Israeli settlers attack Palestinian family near Ramallah
Ramallah (QNN)- A group of extremist Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian house where a whole family, including children, were sleeping inside, near al-Taiba village, north of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, last night.
Local sources reported that at least 12 extremist Israeli settlers from the so-called 'hilltop' gangs -- affiliated with the Religious Zionism party, led by hardcore Israeli Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich -- attacked a Palestinian house near the al-Taiba village while residents of the house were sleeping at around 1:00 am, local time.
The settlers assaulted and beat the family members, including a child who was suffocated after being pepper sprayed by the settlers.
