Khalil al-Adalin, a resident of the village of Umm al-Kheir in the South Hebron Hills, tells The Times of Israel that two villagers were injured this morning in an attack by two settlers who came from a nearby outpost.
According to al-Adalin, the settlers entered the village with their flock, and tried to cut down olive trees before attacking two Palestinians with stones and clubs.
Another resident of the village, Eid al-Adalin, tells The Times of Israel that one of the injured — a 26-year-old man — was struck in the head with clubs and taken to a hospital for examination, while the second, a 50-year-old man, sustained an arm injury and was treated at the scene.
Footage shows IDF forces at the scene when the man was taken to a hospital. The IDF has not yet issued a response.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
