Israeli settlers attack Palestinian wedding in Hebron, injuring two

RAMALLAH, Aug 2 (KUNA) -- Two Palestinians were injured when Israeli settlers attacked on Saturday a Palestinian wedding ceremony in the twon of Hebron in the West Bank.
A group of settlers attacked by throwing stones at Al-Ja'bary wedding ceremony in the city, injuring two of the participants, Palestinian eyewitnesses said.
They added that fist fights took place between the two sides while Palestinians attempted to defend themselves.
Palestinian residents of Hebron (or al-Khalil in Arabic) have been under constant attacks by Israeli settlers who live in the suburbs after confiscating Arab and residential areas in the town.
Last night, a Palestinian mother and her little daughter were hurt when they were pelted with stones near a Jewish settlement in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
"Falestine Malla, 30, was seriously hurt, and her daughter Hadil was also injured when stones were thrown at their car near the Yitzar settlement Friday night," a spokesman for the Rafidiyeh hospital said.(end) nq.mb KUNA 022209 Aug 08NNNN
