Yesterday, Tuesday September 23rd, at noontime, a group of settlers entered the Beta town council situated at the center of town.  The settlers jumped at Mayor Mahmoud Barham Abu Sand, beat up and wounded him, and he is now hospitalized.
This was reported to me by one of the city council workers, Hamed Ja’ghoub.
