Four Palestinians sustained injuries today in an assault by Israeli occupation forces and settlers in the village of Maghayir al-Abid, in Masafer Yatta region, to the south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources. Osama Makhamreh, a local Palestinian activist, told WAFA that a group of army-guarded Israeli settlers physically assaulted a number of Palestinian civilians in the village, lightly injuring four of them. Earlier today, Israeli occupation forces fired stun grenades at nonviolent Palestinian protesters demonstrating in the village against colonial Israeli settlement activities. The forces also clamped down on journalists covering the protest and briefly detained some of them.
