Palestinian village attacked by Israeli settlers
The Israeli human rights group, B'Tselem, has released a video that appears to show Israeli soldiers standing by while Jewish settlers open fire on stone-throwing Palestinian protesters in the West Bank, wounding one of them.
In this section of the video, young men from the Jewish settlement of Yitzhar are seen descending a mountainside upon the village of Asira al-Qubliya
As the settlers approach, Palestinians from the village confront the group by throwing rocks at them.
The Israeli group are seen throwing rocks back in response.
