An Israeli activist with the left-wing organization Looking the Occupation in the Eye was attacked by a settler while visiting a Bedouin hamlet in the West Bank overnight, the group says.

The activist was rushed to a hospital following the incident at Ras ‘Ein al ‘Auja in the southern Jordan Valley, according to the NGO.

The group says a settler first punctured the tires of a vehicle driven by the activist and then threw a stone at his head, injuring him.

The activist, who was there to assist residents of the Bedouin encampment, had been close to an illegal settler outpost recently established near the hamlet when he was attacked, Looking the Occupation in the Eye reports.

No arrests have been reported.
