An Israeli settler assaulted 4 Palestinian female students from Baqa al-Gharbiyye, Qalansuwa and Tayibe by pouring soft drinks on them in occupied Jerusalem, then bragged about the incident on social media.
One of the students, a medical student from Baqa al-Gharbiyye, said the assault took place while the group was sitting in a public area after a day of classes. She said the settler targeted them because they were wearing hijabs. She added that others directed racist insults at them, repeatedly calling them “saboteurs.”
The settler posted a video documenting the assault before admitting in a social media comment that he was responsible, writing, “That’s me. I’m the one who poured the drink on Arab female students.” His father responded, “Uri, my beautiful child,” drawing widespread criticism.
