An Israeli settler was filmed throwing rocks and attempting to break into the home of Palestinian activist Issa Amro in Hebron (a divided city in the occupied West Bank under both Israeli military and limited Palestinian Authority control) while an Israeli soldier stood by without intervening. The settler was briefly detained before being released. The incident has drawn renewed attention to the practice of settlers targeting Palestinian residents in the presence of Israeli security forces, who critics say routinely fail to protect Palestinians from such attacks.
