The New Israel Fund also protested the detainment of three leftist provocateurs near Hevron Friday. The leftist activists' visit was carried out "in solidarity with human rights activists from the Ta'ayush organization who were violently attacked last Saturday by marauders who came from the Mitzpeh Yair outpost," said the NIF.
"The outpost was declared a closed military zone, but none of the violent marauders was arrested," claimed the leftist fund, which supports Breaking the Silence. "We demand that an immediate investigation be opened regarding the ongoing violence against human rights activists in the area."
