Jewish Extremist Jabs Young Palestinian Woman With Insulin
An ultra-Orthodox Jew attacked a young Palestinian woman in a street of
central Jerusalem late Thursday, September 26, using a syringe to jab her
with insulin, Israeli public radio reported.
The Palestinian woman, who fainted, was given medical attention, while police
in the area arrested the assailant, who apart from the needle was also
carrying a large knife and a gun, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported.
The incident occurred at about 7 p.m. as the young woman walked on Nevi'im
Street in occupied Jerusalem.
The Jewish assailant tried to flee, but the police arrested him after a short
chase.
The attacker refused to cooperate with the police and simply said that he
knew the woman was Palestinian, the Israeli daily newspaper, Ha’aretz,
reported.
The Jerusalem Magistrates Court extended Friday, September 27, the remand of
the ultra-Orthodox Jew, the paper said.
Crimes by Jewish extremists against Palestinian civilians have been on the
rise.
The latest in a long series of attacks was on Tuesday, September 17, when
Jewish extremists planted a bomb which exploded in a West Bank school,
injuring six Palestinian children.
The extremists placed the time bombs near the water pipes which the students
use to drink water during their recess, aiming to cause the most number of
casualties.
Khalil Al-Tamizi, the head of the education zone in Al-Khalil (Hebron),
accused the extremist settlers and the Israeli occupation army of being
behind the blast.
The location in which the school lies witnessed military presence Monday,
September 16, and there were many bombs fired in the skies, which means that
the only people who are able to walk around freely in the city are the
settlers and the Israeli soldiers.
