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.
