NABLUS (Ma'an) -- A Palestinian man was shot by Israeli forces in the northern West Bank on Saturday, after which a group of Israeli settlers stabbed him repeatedly, a Palestinian official said.

Jawdat Bani Jabir, 43, was shot in the face and the foot by soldiers in Yanun village, south of Nablus, governorate official Ghassan Daghlas told Ma'an.

A group of Israeli settlers who had descended into the village proceeded to stab him in several places, Daghlas added. Jabir's condition could not be immediately confirmed.

An Israeli army spokesman said he was looking into the incident.

Daghlas said the settlers had entered Yanun village, and fatally stabbed five cattle. He pointed out that the village depends on agriculture and livestock.

Villagers came out to defend their homes, the official added.

Yanun is surrounded by Israeli settler outposts, illegal under both international and Israeli law.

There U go Obama?How do U like your "unbreakable bond"Brown-Shirt Zionist "Friends of" racism? Past,present & would-be POTUS's who prefer to kiss ZIONIST butt,at the expense of pluralistic,pure democracy with honor,have NO PLACE being POTUS's.And,this is not the way Israel,within its pre-67 borders,was supposed to be,i.e.CRIMINALLY SHAMEFUL bordering on holocaustic! Global leaders take a hard,realistic look at Zionism&question why U STILL give that "unconditional"support,to extreme absolutists?

Mel / USA . Each country and each group sorrowfully has its share of extremists and fanatics..... Including Israel. But the difference is we Jews and Israelis speak out against them. This site relishes in doing so. As compared to Arabs and Muslims who are afraid or refuse to speak out against theirs. Just look at the Arab League. See , hear , and speak no evil.

. . . . . and they'll get away with it. AGAIN! Just look at those three thugs. That's all they are, murderous thugs, hiding behind religion. Those three in the photo should do a bit of soul-searching and ask their God if He approves of their actions.

Those look like Palestinians attacking! How can you tell the difference, isn't that what Palestinians do is make protests mobs and attack Israelis? What are your sources for verifying this incident? There are so many FALSE reports from Palestinians that are inciting others to biased opinions. Hashem is great and has given the land to Israel!

Where is the 'man' alegedly being attacked with knives. All I see is three men, (whether Settlers or Palestinians is not known nor seen) running with sticks in their hands and a photographer in the lower part of the frame aiming his camera at them. What man is being shot and attacked. He's non-existent. So Marie and Ponderosa, you have so cleverly discerned the truth of this aarticle??!! Give me a break!!

To Arnold #4 '...But the difference is we Jews and Israelis speak out against them. This site relishes in doing so..." Umm...Arnold? Ma'an is neither a Jewish nor an Israeli site.

To Pondorosa #10 'Savages! Killing cattle and stabbing elderly men. Complete and utter savages...' Actually, it kind of reminds me more of one of those Zombie apocalypse movies.

Have experienced settler attack myself. Those people have no regards for other human beings except themselves. Scary, racist, and tragic. One can only pity such an existence.

#12 Bit hard to get a good shot of settlers stabbing cattle (or Palestinians) I would imagine. "Sorry, could you do that again, I think I was a bit out of focus". But isn't the guy on the left wearing a tell-tale knitted kippah? And aren't those payot poking out? And isn't the guy in the foreground in traditional Palestinian dress, ie. black T-shirt? Of course it could just be a Ma'an file photo unrelated to the event. Or even made-up atrocity propaganda like Alan Dershowitz's
