Abu Njeim Road Closed
WAFA said colonists attacked the village of Abu Njeim, southeast of Bethlehem, on Friday evening and opened live fire at residents’ vehicles, injuring one Palestinian.
“smashing its windows and spraying its crew with pepper spray”
WAFA reported that colonists then attacked an ambulance that arrived to provide medical assistance, smashing its windows and spraying its crew with pepper spray, causing the ambulance personnel to suffer from suffocation.
WAFA quoted Abdul Halim Jaafreh, Director of the Palestine Red Crescent Society’s ambulance service in Bethlehem, saying that two ambulance officers were injured after colonists attacked the ambulance they were traveling in, rendering the vehicle inoperable.
WAFA also said that following the attack, the colonists closed the village’s main road and assaulted civil defense crews, while a security source confirmed another Palestinian sustained a broken hand after colonists attacked his truck near the university housing area in the village.
