A group of settlers attempted to dig up buried pipes and destroy Palestinian infrastructure in a small West Bank village on Wednesday.
When activists intervened to prevent the vandalism in the village of Ras al-Ein in the Jordan Valley, the settlers called police and the Israeli army.

Eyewitnesses reported that settlers brought small children and even infants to observe the confrontations."
