During a meeting with B\u2019Tselem volunteers in Asirah al-Qibliyah, we saw smoke from the direction of the neighboring village Urif. When we phoned people there, they told us that it was the result of arson. I drove to the area with B\u2019Tselem\u2019s field researcher Salma a-Deb\u2019i, and we saw dozens of settlers from Yitzhar who invaded the village&#8217;s agricultural land. The settlers threw stones and set fire to the villagers\u2019 fields and orchards. Some youths from the village approached them trying to douse the flames and some also threw stones at settlers. In one incident I witnessed and documented, Settlers from Yitzar\u2019s emergency squad shot and severely wounded a villager, Najeh Ass\u2019ad Najeh a-Safdi, aged 21, in his stomach.

While the army had increased the size of its force in the area, the soldiers evidently were not instructed to protect the Palestinian villagers. On \u00a0the contrary &#8211; soldiers fired tear gas at village residents and delayed the evacuation of the wounded man. This incident took place just a week after a Palestinian from the village of Asira a-Qibliya was shot and injured by gunfire from this same settlement security squad.\u00a0(To view videos click\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.btselem.org\/press_releases\/20120520_asira_al_qibliya\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.btselem.org\" target=\"_blank\">B&#8221;Tselem<\/a> is an Israeli human rights organization that advocates for the human rights and dignity of all.\u00a0 The recent project of giving advocates video cameras has resulted in numerous controversial videos showing the reality of human rights violations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>httpv:\/\/youtu.be\/90__-IUNfIM \u00a0 From Sarit Michaeli, a B&#8217;Tselem Spokesperson, in a recent B&#8217;Tselem newsletter: Last Saturday (26 May 2012), I witnessed events that I\u2019d previously only seen in video footage or heard about from witnesses.
