Israeli Settlers Attack 67-Year-Old Palestinian Man
A video shows a group of masked Israeli settlers attacking a 67-year-old Palestinian man named Basim Saleh Yassin in the West Bank.
The man was trying to run away from the settlers but fell down, and they started hitting and kicking him.
He got hurt badly and had to go to the hospital.
This is one of many times that settlers have attacked people in the West Bank.
The Israeli Prime Minister said that only a few extremists are doing this, but Palestinians say it happens every day.
Israel has built many settlements in the West Bank, which are like new towns for Israeli people.
These settlements are not allowed by international law, but Israel is still building more.
They even approved plans for 19 new settlements last month and a big project near Jerusalem that could split the West Bank in half.

Yassin was injured and hospitalized with broken bones and other injuries.
The attack is part of rising cases of Israeli settler violence in the West Bank.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the perpetrators as a 'handful of extremists', but Palestinians view the problem as more widespread.
Israel has built over 500,000 settlements in the West Bank since 1967, with 19 new settlements approved last month and a contentious project near Jerusalem.
