A Palestinian resident of the village of Susiya, in his 40s, was injured after being beaten by settlers with a metal rod, according to a Palestinian source and an Israeli activist present in the area who spoke to The Times of Israel.
A local Palestinian source said that around 20 settlers entered the village, south of Hebron, and began throwing stones. The resident was struck in the head outside his home when two settlers beat him with a rod. He was later evacuated to a Palestinian hospital.
The source added that after attacking the Palestinian, the settlers fled the scene, and Israeli army and police forces arrived only after the incident had ended.
Police have yet to issue a response.
