A Palestinian woman was attacked on Wednesday at night by a group of Jewish settlers while she was driving her car on the Bir Zeit Road, near Jalazonerefugee camp, in the central West Bank district of Ramallah.
Local sources reported that the injured woman, identified as Rola Al-Qawasmi, 36, was evacuated to the Red Crescent hospital in Ramallah to receive medical treatment after being assaulted by settlers who hurled stones at her and attacked her with batons.
Dozens of women in the West Bank and in East Jerusalem are subjected to attacks and harassment by settlers, and by Israeli soldiers especially on military roadblocks.
