Reports: 8 Palestinians injured in clash with settlers; two Palestinians arrested

Palestinian media outlets report that a clash broke out this morning between settlers and Palestinians in the South Hebron Hills, apparently near an outpost established in the area.

The reports say eight Palestinians, including children and a woman, were injured during the confrontation.

Footage from the scene appears to show IDF forces arriving at the site and arresting two Palestinians.

The IDF has not yet responded to The Times of Israel’s request for comment.

No settlers were arrested in the incident, according to eyewitnesses.

Left-wing activists at the scene lament the occurrence as the latest example of Israeli authorities punishing Palestinians for violence instigated by settlers, who are rarely prosecuted.
