Israeli settler militias embarked on an attack this afternoon targeting the village of Kisan, located east of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

The sources reported that dozens of colonists, under the protection of Israeli forces, stormed the western part of the village. They blocked the main road, chanted racist slogans including “death to Arabs and Palestinians,” and raised Israeli flags on the wall surrounding the village council headquarters.

The residents of the village remained in their homes, fearing further attacks by the settlers, who were preventing movement of vehicles on the main road leading to the village during the attack.
