Orthodox Jews storm Arab-Israeli town

Settlers stormed Al-Ayn Square in the village of Kafr Manda late last night in order to perform religious rituals.

Some of the village’s youth gathered and forced the settlers to leave Kafr Manda. One of the young men told Arab48 “the settlers lit candles and scattered papers, along with strange manuscripts.”

The settlers planned this provocation and said that Al-Ayn Square is of religious significance to them and that they had rights to it

he added.

A number of families from the village expressed their anger and irritation due to the settlers’ provocations, stressing that Kafr Manda is a Palestinian Arab village and no one has rights to it other than its residents.

They warned that repeated provocations may have negative outcomes in the future.
