The Palestinian Authority’s official news agency WAFA reports that a Palestinian woman was injured after being beaten by settlers in the village of Sa’ir, south of Hebron. According to the report, as she was evacuated for medical treatment, Israeli forces detained three of her sons.
The IDF has not yet issued a response.
HORRIFIC: Israeli settlers attacked the town of Sair in the West Bank, beating an elderly Palestinian woman who has been hospitalized.
