The 11-year-old girl Hala Mashhour Al-Qat is living her most rough days, seeing the scars cover her face, since the Israeli settlers attacked her house in Madama village, south of Nablus, in the northern West Bank.

When Hala, on Sunday afternoon, was sitting in the yard of her home and studying in preparation for her exams, she was surprised by the attack of dozens of settlers on her house, which is located hundreds of meters away from the settlement of Yitzhar.

Hala tries to forget the painful moments that she lived under the blows of settlers stones, which became a nightmare that haunts her and deprives her of sleep at night.

"They hit me with a big stone on my nose and tried to kidnap and pull me out,” Hala, briefly, told Safa.

She indicates that the settlers, who were masked, tried to pull her out and kidnap her, before her mother was able to rescue and save her.

Hala's mother, Wea’am al-Qat, who was busy with housework at the moment of the attack, did not realize what was happening outside or what happened to her child until after her second child, Masah, came with trembling and fear in her face.

"Masah told me that there are people who threw a stone at her, so I went out of the house to find Hala lying on the ground with blood covering her face," said Wea’am.

She adds, "At first glance, I thought she was hit by a bullet and I did not know where the blood was flowing from."

Hala was unconscious and her mother tried to bring her back to consciousness, before the settlers rushed her by throwing stones at her to keep her away from her child and prevent her from saving her.

With extreme difficulty, she managed to drag her child inside the house, while she was shouting at the neighbors and calling out loud.

After taking Hala to the house, the settlers poured their hatred on the windows of the house and smashed them with their stones.

"To the horror of the shock, I forgot my 50-day-old daughter who was sleeping in her bed, while the settlers were smashing the windows where my newborn baby is sleeping," the mother said.

Hala's father, Mashhur al-Qat, who works in Israel, preferred to stay with his family to protect them from the settlers and even overcome the shock of the attack.

On Sunday, while he was at his work, he received a phone call from his wife, who was crying and asking him to return immediately because his daughter was attacked by settlers and her condition is critical.

"I left my work and immediately went back to the house to find blood on the ground in front of the house," said Mashhur.

He added, "They told me that Hala was receiving treatment in the hospital, so I thought that she had been martyred, but they were hiding the difficult news from me."

Madama, like other surrounding villages, is constantly exposed to attacks by Yitzhar settlers, whose residents are described as hard-line settlers.

“This is not the first attack that houses near the settlement are subjected to, but it is the most violent attack that almost robbed me of my daughter,” the father told Safa.

He points out that this attack left a tough impact on his family, adding: "My children used to play and have fun in the yard of the house, but after the last attack, I am afraid for them to approach the door of the house."

However, al-Qat demands protection of his family and the townspeople from settler attacks, and says: "My daughter miraculously survived this attack, but who can guarantee for us and others to survive the settlers attacks in the future?"
