OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- A group of Israeli settlers punctured, on Sunday morning, tires of a number of Palestinians' cars parked in front of their owners' houses in Wadi Hilweh in Silwan, in occupied city of Jerusalem.

Tawfiq Hassan Abu Hadwan, one of the residents of Wadi Hilweh, said that a group of five settlers arrived, on a white Citroën, to the region where three of them started puncturing tires of the parked cars belonging to Palestinian citizens under the protection of the other two who were carrying arms.

Abu Hadwan added that one of the Israeli police patrol (border guards) had been watching from afar the aggressors, but did not intervene to prevent this attack.

He pointed out that the neighborhood's residents did not try to confront the settlers who were heavily armed, because they thought that they are elements of Special Forces.

Yet, when some youths tried to confront the Jewish settlers, they fled from the neighborhood, followed by the border guards’ patrol, stated Abu Hadwan.
