Illegal Israeli colonizers kidnapped and assaulted a Palestinian child and assaulted two young men, on Tuesday, before occupation forces abducted them, in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the southern occupied West Bank.

According to activist, Osama Makhamreh said that a group of illegal colonizers kidnapped the child, Salama Kayed Makhamreh, 15, and took him to the “Halat Ma’on” settlement, built on expropriated lands of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.

Makhamreh added that the settlers brutally assaulted the child causing injuries, before leaving him on Palestinian lands in another area of Masafer Yatta; he suffered bruising and was transported to the Yatta Governmental Hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, earlier Tuesday, illegal colonizers savagely assaulted two Palestinian young men, before Israeli forces abducted them in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.

Osama Makhamreh, a local activist, told the WAFA news Agency that a group of illegal settlers, under the protection of the army, assaulted the young men, Hamza Abu Jundia and Salah Abu Jundia.


Makhamreh added that the colonizers attacked the young men in Khirbet al-Tuba in Masafer Yatta, while they were grazing their livestock, before soldiers abducted the two young men who were the victims of the assault, rather than arrest the attackers.
