On Sunday, June 25th, at 1:50 PM, as the schoolchildren were returning home to the Ein al-Duyuk community in Jericho, we were driving up the military road adjacent to our houses. As we approached, we were surprised by a tractor carrying three settlers.

The army stated that it would remain open as long as there were no problems, according to them. However, this decision backfired, leading to a series of violent attacks against us. Human rights organizations have classified the area as a red zone due to settler attacks. ...
