A Palestinian man who was attacked last night by a group of young Jewish men in the West Bank city of Hebron thanks the soldier who helped him flee, after video of the incident was published.

“I thank the soldier who helped me and kept them away from me. The army needs to make sure they don’t attack someone else. These settlers need to be stopped,” Ibrahim Bader tells the Kan public broadcaster.

Bader, a 31-year-old security guard and father of three, says he was on his was to work when he was attacked.

A statement from the army earlier today said the incident occurred during violent confrontations between Israelis and Palestinians in the flashpoint city.
