Israeli etstlers assault drivers in Jerusalem

On Thursday 7th February, an Israeli settler attacked two Palestinian drivers in Tel Biot area, south of Jerusalem, said Luba Al-Samari, the Israeli police spokesperson. The police arrested an 18 year-old Israeli settler from 'Shabibit Al-Tilal'-- an Israeli youth organization in Jerusalem-- and another one who is a suspect in the incident, according to Al-Samari. She said that the two settlers, who were at a nearby wedding, stopped the Palestinian taxi driver near the Western wall in the Jewish quarter, attacked him with tear gas spray and ran away. A while after the incident, a similar case was reported leading to the arrest of the two settlers. One of the drivers was slightly injured and transferred to hospital for treatment, said Al-Samari.
