On 18 and 19 Nov. 2022, Israeli settlers marked the reading of the Chayei Sarah [Life of Sarah] Torah portion in the Al-khalil (Hebron) city center. That weekend, dozens of settlers attacked Palestinian homes with stones, vandalized cars and market stalls, raided a clothing store and assaulted residents, at least one of whom was taken to hospital by ambulance. Isn’treali soldiers were present throughout arrested none of the settlers, and occasionally fired tear gas canisters and threw stun grenades at Palestinians trying to defend their property. On 19 November 2022, at around 2:00 P.M., Suzan Jaber, who volunteers with B’Tselem’s camera project, filmed soldiers detaining a young Palestinian at the Jaber checkpoint. Settlers swore at Jaber and at her son Mahmoud (17), who swore back. One of the settlers threw a stone that hit Mahmoud. The soldiers then raided the family’s home, detained Mahmoud and threatened to detain his 14-year-old sister, Lama. The soldiers took Mahmoud and the young man they detained on the street earlier to the police station in the settlement of Kiryat Arba, where they were held for several hours and released with no further action.
