Kaied Ahmad Turabi, from Miami, was visiting his parents and sister in the village when the attack happened. He was filmed fighting with settlers on a neighbour’s porch.<\/p>\n

He was just out of hospital when he spoke to the BBC. He had a large black eye, several cuts and bruises, and a wound on his head that he said had needed 12 stitches.<\/p>\n

“I worked all my life with Jewish people, but these people… they all had covered faces, all of them had a lot of stuff \u2013 sticks, and things in their pockets. They came ready,” he said.<\/p>\n

Hours later, we were with residents watching the back entrance to the village when settlers were spotted on its outskirts again.<\/p>\n

We watched dozens of young men stream up the road, answering a call to barricade and defend the village.<\/p>\n

Israeli soldiers stood guard to separate the groups, as the settlers slowly melted away.<\/p>\n

For the Palestinians, it was a different method of crowd control – tear gas fired repeatedly to push them back down the road.<\/p>\n

Some young men ran through clouds of gas to try and bury the cannisters with soil, or kick them away to chants of “Palestine, Palestine”, as the soldiers steadily advanced.<\/p>\n

Israel’s military said on Sunday it was working to prevent “incidents of nationalist crime” – its term for attacks by extremist Israeli settlers there.<\/p>\n

But while Israeli leaders publicly condemn extremist violence, they have overseen a rapid growth in the wildcat settlement outposts that human rights groups say are fuelling attacks on Palestinians.<\/p>\n

Israel’s prime minister said he would speed up the establishment and legalisation of farm outposts in the West Bank, in response to the killing of Israelis in Tal on Friday.<\/p>\n

New Israeli outposts have already appeared in the area since then – one near Sarra is visible from the main road.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
