Two young men suffered injuries when a horde of Jewish settlers physically assaulted them in Ras Ein al-Auja hamlet north of Jericho city.
Lawyer Mahmoud al-Ghawanmeh a resident of the hamlet said that dozens of settlers escorted by dogs stormed the hamlet and tried to steal some sheep from local residents and beat two young men as they tried to fend them off.
The wounded young men were identified as Hani Ata 24 and Haitham Suleiman 20. They suffered head injuries and received medical assistance at Jericho Hospital.
Soon later Israeli soldiers stormed the area and provided protection for the settlers and detained two other young men for several hours.
