Israeli soldiers beat up two Palestinian teen sisters near Bethlehem

Israeli occupation forces this evening attacked two Palestinian teen sisters while they were present near an illegal settlement in the village of Kisan to the east of Bethlehem, according to local activist Ahmad Ghazal.

The activist told WAFA correspondent Israeli military soldiers beat up two sisters while they were present close to the nearby illegal Israeli settlement of Abi HaNahal, under the pretext that the girls were present on land that falls under the Israeli sovereignty.

The girls were identified as two sisters Raghad and Dina Abiyyat, aged 13 and 14.

Israeli forces and settlers’ attacks have recently escalated against Palestinian farmers in the said village with the aim of forcing them to leave the area for the benefit of settlement expansion.
