Settlers attack left-wing activists escorting W. Bank shepherds
By Mijal Grinberg, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: Israel, Maon, Taayush 

Members of the Taayush Jewish-Arab coexistence movement were assaulted on Saturday by residents of the nearby Maon settlement as they escorted Palestinian shepherds to their West Bank grazing land.

The activists said they had been surrounded by some 90 people, who physically attacked them and prevented them from leaving the site.

The assailants also stood in the way of a police jeep that came to the victims' assistance, they said.

One activist told Haaretz: "We came back in the early afternoon, and passed through Maon's grounds. Then, we were attacked by an incensed crowd. They hit us, twisted our arms and spat at us. Even the soldiers were unable to help us.
