A group of Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian child in al-Khalil on Tuesday leaving him suffering from different injuries and bruises.
According to the PIC reporter the 14-year-old Hassan Shaloudi was transferred to hospital after being brutally beaten by a group of settlers while on his way to school.
The assault occurred Tuesday morning when the settlers stopped Hassan and ordered him to open his bag and to throw all its content onto the ground. The schoolboy was then beaten after he refused to do so.
Hassan fainted and was left bleeding on the ground before being taken to hospital.
Palestinians in occupied West Bank towns and villages are often subjected to violent attacks by Israeli settlers mostly under Israeli forces’ protection.
