In southern al-Khalil, Israeli soldiers beat an elderly man called Mufdi Rab’iee during a raid on his house at the pretext that he plowed his own piece of land that is located near the settlement of Ma’on.
The IOF also kidnaped two citizens related to Rab’iee because of their presence on the same swath of land near the settlement.
