Ramallah, May 15 (RHC)-- In the occupied West Bank, Palestinian truck drivers say they fear for their lives after Jewish settlers attacked a convoy of 98 Gaza-bound aid trucks on Monday.

One driver, Adel Amer, told reporters: “We went to the checkpoint, and after the check, we were surprised to see settlers on the roundabout of the checkpoint.  They damaged the cars.  They tore the tires off the trucks.  They threw the contents of the truck on the ground.  We gathered some of the products and sent some of those products on to a bulldozer and sent them to sheep farms.  Around 15 trucks were damaged. Their haul was damaged.  Windows of the trucks were broken.  Some drivers were beaten.  Some of the products were thrown away, and the whole loss for Hebron is around $2 million.”
