Meanwhile, a Palestinian worker from Bethlehem was attacked and severely beaten by Israeli colonial settlers in Jerusalem.

Security sources told WAFA that Hisham Hassan Hasasneh, age 20, from the town of Obaidiya, east of Bethlehem, was attacked by a group of settlers while he was at his place of work in Jerusalem, injuring him throughout his body.

He was taken to a Bethlehem hospital for treatment.

Violence in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem has been in a state of rapid escalation, since Israeli forces first began their current assault on the Gaza Strip in the first week of July.
