They cursed and insulted them and severely beat them using belts and stones. One of them trampled her with an electric bicycle causing Asma’ to fall on the ground. Also, one of them attacked them with a piece of iron, and threw trash at them.

Shyoukhi continued: “While being detained at Al-Qishleh police station in the Old City of Jerusalem on charges of assaulting settlers, I asked the interrogator to check surveillance cameras in the area of the assault. And indeed, footage showed that we were assaulted, and we filed a complaint against the aggressors."
