Some stunning footage recently became available of a settler attacking a team of Peace Now activists who were surveying West Bank settlement construction.
The assault took place at the settlement of Dolev. The incident was captured on video and reported by Israel’s Channel 2 Television, whose news team were documenting Peace Now’s work, and were also assaulted.
The news segment above was broadcast on Channel Two’s evening news broadcast. Peace Now’s Hagit Ofran filed a police complaint against the assailant, which resulted in an arrest being made.
The violence perpetrated by settlers is unforgivable, unfortunate and occurs all to regularly. It is dangerous and diminishes any possibility of stability and peace.
Peace Now is the best resource for information about settlements in the West Bank, and violence like this shall not deter its activists from completing the important job of reporting the real facts on the ground.

I was looking at a power point presentation at Peace Now on Settlements.
There certainly are a lot of them. Keep up the good work.
