Israeli settler gangs beat a deaf elderly Palestinian man with batons during an attack on the village of Deir Sharaf, northwest of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.

Despite U.S. President Donald Trump calling out such mobs and their deadly violence against Palestinians, which prompted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal, to condemn the attacks, the assaults have continued to escalate week after week, as the Israeli army provides cover for the settlers and prevents Palestinians from defending themselves.
