A Palestinian man has been hospitalized after he was beaten by settlers in the South Hebron Hills, according to an eyewitness.
The Palestinian witness, who spoke to The Times of Israel on condition of anonymity, says that six settlers attacked Mousa Nawaj’ah, a 65-year-old resident of Umm Nir in the South Hebron Hills, yesterday.
According to the witness, the settlers beat him in his yard as he stepped outside to feed his dogs.
He was taken to a Palestinian hospital in moderate condition while conscious, with rib and back pain, and bleeding from his hands. Footage shows him being evacuated on a stretcher.
The Israel Police have not yet commented on the incident.
