At least six Palestinians, including four children, were injured when a large group of Israeli settlers carried out a coordinated overnight attack on the village of Tuba in the occupied West Bank’s South Hebron Hills.
The attackers arrived in vehicles, stormed Palestinian homes, assaulted residents and set fire to buildings, trees and bales of hay, Haaretz reported. They also destroyed solar panels and damaged at least six structures before retreating towards the nearby Havat Ma’on settler outpost, residents said.
Those injured included a mother, three girls aged between five and eight, a ten-year-old boy and a 22-year-old man.
Describing the ordeal, Radwan Abu Jundi, a Tuba resident, said his family hid inside their home as settlers threw stones at the building and attempted to break in.
Family members moved the women and children into an inner room and locked the door while the attackers began setting fire to the surrounding buildings and outdoor kitchen.
