On wednesday, 16/2,  Around 11.00 a.m. 3 volunteers from Operation Dove- Nonviolent Peace Corp and two volunteers form Christian Peacemaker teams were attacked by a group of  5 settlers, when they were accompanying a small group of Palestinian shepherds. It is not clear yet, whether they belonged to the "Hava" (outpost) or the "settlement". One of the settlers fired some rifle shots at the volunteers, when they fled, other settlers run up, caught them and beat the 3 volunteers. One of them was beaten so heavily that he lost consciousness. The peace activists asked today for support. This is the third time that international activists have been hospitalized in the last six months. We believe, that on the background of political movement in that area attacks on inhabitants and peace activists in this area will intensify and we need to support them.
