Five Israeli settlers have been detained for their alleged involvement in an Israeli baby’s alleged wounding at a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank.
The infant was reportedly injured moderately to the face and head in the incident, which occurred late on Wednesday and involved “a group of armed settlers” who were throwing stones at homes and property in the town of Sair, north of Hebron.
According to Israeli police, five settlers were detained on Thursday after receiving reports of “stones being thrown toward a Palestinian home by Israeli civilians.”
Israeli settlements and outposts are Jewish-only communities constructed on Palestinian-occupied Palestinian land that are against international law. They can be found in a variety of sizes, from single-family homes to a number of high-rise buildings. According to the peace-focused Israeli organization Peace Now, about 700,000 settlers reside in East Jerusalem and live there.
In another West Bank incident, a 17-year-old boy was shot while dozens of Palestinians were inhaling tear gas during an Israeli army raid on the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, according to Wafa.
According to the report, “Israeli forces launched live bullets and tear gas canisters across the town’s neighborhoods.”
Following settler attacks, Israeli forces also detained three Palestinians in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
Additionally, Israeli forces detained one resident in Masafer Yatta after they searched and vandalized their contents.
In the town of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, a Palestinian man was hurt in a settler attack.
