Extremist Jewish settlers assaulted a Palestinian family in Khirbet Al-Farisiya hamlet in the northern occupied Jordan Valley this morning, the Palestinian Information Centre reported.

Louay Daraghmeh said that a group of settlers stormed their homes in the hamlet and assaulted members of his family, adding that they also threatened his family before leaving the area.

For several months, the family of Daraghmeh has been facing attacks by settlers, who live illegally in the area.

The settlers also prevent the family from allowing their sheep to graze near the hamlet in an attempt to drive them out of the area.
