"While Jabher Mohammed Jaber Slieby, 42, his brother Hassan, 37, and their relative Fathi Ahmad Jaber Sleibi, 42, were working on their lands in the area of Wad Abu Rish, they were attacked by around 40 settlers from Beit Eyin who hurled stones at them using sling shots. None of them were harmed," said Mohammad Awad, the PSP spokesman.

An Israeli patrol was present at the scene, near Beit Ummer to the north of the West Bank city of Hebron, and tried to prevent the settlers from attacking the farmers, Awad said, adding that the farmers "fled, fearful they would be harmed."
