Palestinian Father: Settlers Shot at Home With Children Inside, “Organised Terrorism”

Barhan Omar stands in the charred ruins of his family’s villa. Israeli settlers attacked the home on Sunday. He describes what happened with tears in his eyes. “This assault wasn’t just meant to burn the houses but also to kill – to kill women and children,” he says. The Palestinian bank manager says settlers came “in big numbers.” He calls it “organised terrorism.”

Escape to the Roof

Settlers shot at his home in Deir al-Hatab, near Nablus. They also set the property alight. Omar and his children escaped by hiding on their roof. Therefore, this Palestinian home settler attack left a family terrified.

Terror in the Night

“What’s terrifying is that you’re sitting in your house with your children, then suddenly you come under fire.” The attack left the family’s home destroyed. Their lives will never be the same. The international community has condemned settler violence. Investigations are ongoing. The Omar family now faces an uncertain future.
