The Haaretz daily publishes footage from a settler attack on the village of Qawawis earlier this week in which the assailants destroy the security camera used to film the crime.

The report says three cameras were destroyed in total, along with nine solar panels used by the village in the South Hebron Hills, which has faced repeated settler attacks.

Seven people were hospitalized as a result of the Tuesday attack.

In another clip from a settler attack from earlier this week in nearby Masafer Yatta that has gone viral, an Israeli can be seen shoving to the ground an elderly Palestinian man in crutches due to an amputated leg.

The Palestinian was reportedly detained by the IDF after the incident, while no Israeli settlers were arrested.

Arrests, let alone indictments or convictions, against Israeli settlers in alleged attacks on Palestinians are exceedingly rare.
