Video filmed by security cameras shows men dressed mostly in black, faces covered, with several hitting and kicking a man on the ground. Two witnesses who are members of the family that owns the facility said Israeli settlers beat 67-year-old Basim Saleh Yassin as he was trying to flee the German-Palestinian-run nursery in the northern West Bank village of Deir Sharaf. Both spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal. Workers fled when they saw the settlers coming on Thursday but Yassin is deaf and couldn’t hear the warnings to leave, one family member said. The witnesses said Yassin was in the hospital with broken bones in his hand and other injuries to his face, chest and back. Four cars at the nursery were burned.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called the perpetrators “a handful of extremists” and urged law enforcement to pursue them for “the attempt to take the law into their own hands.” But rights groups and Palestinians say the problem is far greater than a few bad actors, and attacks have become a daily phenomenon across the territory. Israel’s army said it dispatched soldiers to the Shavei Shomron junction — close to the area of Thursday’s attack — following reports of dozens of masked Israelis vandalizing property. The army said it apprehended three suspects who were taken to police for questioning. It said security forces condemn violence of any kind. According to one of the family members who own the nursery, it was the third time in a year that the facility was attacked. The previous incident was in September and cost the business more than $600,000 as offices and facilities were damaged, he said. In the video of Thursday’s attack, Yassin runs from a group of masked people before falling to the ground. One man kicks him and another hits him twice with what appears to be a stick. Yassin stays on his knees as he’s struck again and then places his hands on the ground. As the men are leaving, one kicks him in the head while others strike him again until he’s seen lying on the pavement.
