Palestinian media outlets report that earlier today, four Palestinians were injured in a settler attack in Wadi Rahim, in the South Hebron Hills area of the southern West Bank.

The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reports that settlers armed with weapons attacked residents in Wadi Rahim using clubs, stones, and pepper spray. Four people, described as moderately injured, were evacuated to a Palestinian hospital.

Footage published online appears to show a Palestinian man with an eye injury.
