Israelis residing in an illegal settlement outpost built on Palestinian land in al-Khalil threatened to kill a Palestinian family in case they do not leave their home.

Palestinian citizen Emad Ekneibi said Israeli settlers stormed his family home in al-Khalil’s Old City, in the southern occupied West Bank, and ordered him to evacuate the building.

At the same time, Israeli forces prevented al-Kifah human rights monitor from documenting violations in al-Shuhadaaa Street. Israeli settlers assaulted the group for the third day running and obstructed their work. The Israeli army declared the area a closed military zone and kicked out the activists. 

Activist Issa Amr said he has received death threats by Israeli intelligence and occupation authorities, adding that Israeli fanatics violently attacked him and the locals.
