Anyone Know of Corrinne?

One woman against a tractor:-

Settlers prevent Qaryuot farmers from plowing their lands

Jewish settlers from the illegal settlement of Eli constructed on the territories of the Palestinian village of Qaryuot prevented farmers from plowing their lands.  According to local sources, a number of Palestinian farmers started yesterday plowing their lands in the east part of the village before the arrival of Israeli settlers. Qaryuot farmers were enforced to leave the area in order not to be hurt by settlers fire.

Sources added that a settler called Corinne attempted to attack a farmer who was driving a tractor, but the driver escaped without being injured.

That must be a first.


P.S.  Seeking details, if any.

I'm back (May 9)

There is a guy named Koren who lives on the outskirts of Eli and acts out of his own initiative. What actually happened is that the Eli community permitted Arab farmers to plow their fields, and everything went pretty well. Koren claimed they stole something of his, so he confronted them and there was an altercation and some slight damage to the wheels of a tractor.
Eli then requested police intervention and brought the farmers soda to calm the winds. In short, the person who misbehaved was not an "Eli settler", but rather a private person who acted out of his own will. The residents of Eli where actually the ones who took care of the situation and made sure the police was notified.
