West Bank: A human rights group on Friday released a video showing masked people assaulting Palestinian farmers with sticks.
The footage, released by Israeli rights group B'Tselem, shows four people approaching farmers near a settlement outside Hebron in the West Bank.
One strikes a blow before the camera is dropped. B'Tselem said the woman who was filming ran for help.
Among those hurt was a 58-year-old woman, said the group, who said capturing harassment of Palestinians on video was rare.
B'Tselem has provided about 100 cameras to Palestinians in the past year in a project called Shooting Back, which attempts to document rights abuses in the West Bank.
