Palestinian media reports that Sa’eed al-Amour, a resident of Khirbet al-Rakiz in the South Hebron Hills of the West Bank, was arrested after being assaulted by settlers.
In video footage from today, settlers are seen walking in orchards near the village and knocking the Palestinian man to the ground. He is then seen walking alongside Israeli soldiers who, according to the reports, arrested him. The IDF has yet to comment on the incident.
Al-Amour is an amputee. In April, he was reportedly shot by settlers during clashes around the village, an incident that led to his leg being amputated.
