Victim of Har Nof massacre dies of wounds – a year on

Meanwhile, a rabbi who works for an Israeli human rights organisation was attacked during a Palestinian olive harvest last week.

Video footage of the attack shows a man, believed to be a settler, pulling out a knife and threatening Rabbi Arik Ascherman of Rabbis for Human Rights.

The attacker, wearing a balaclava, can be seen pulling out the knife and waving it as if about to stab the rabbi, before kicking and pushing him to the ground.

The masked attacker can eventually be seen running away, leaving Rabbi Ascherman to get up with minor injuries.

The rabbi had been trying to help a local Palestinian community with its annual olive harvest along with Israeli and international activists and under the supervision of the IDF.

Following the incident, Rabbi Ascherman said: “One of the masked Israelis ran toward me with big stones, started to throw stones and pulled out a knife. After a short struggle he ran away.”
