On Saturday evening, Israeli settlers attacked 3 Jerusalemite families from the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in occupied Jerusalem, with bullets, stones, and pepper gas.

Neighborhood committee member Saleh Diab explained that the settlers attacked the Nusseibeh and Hammad family with stones while they were walking and heading to the so-called “Tomb of Friend Shimon” in the middle of the neighborhood.

Diab added that a group of settlers present in the “grave” threw stones at his house, while family members were present in the square.

He pointed out that he and his family members immediately went to the location of the grave, and during that time one of the settlers fired a bullet at him, knowing that the aggressor settler lived in one of the homes that were seized, and another settler sprayed pepper gas on a young man from the family.
