A child was injured, Friday evening, in a settler attack in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.

According to local sources, the settlers chased the sheep herders and sprayed pepper gas on the child, Usaid Khaled Al-Hadar, resulting in burns that resulted in him being transferred to Yatta Governmental Hospital.

The sources indicated that the settlers attacked the child’s father and prevented him from grazing his sheep on his land, in preparation for seizing it and emptying the lands from farmers and sheep herders, with the aim of expanding the Susiya settlement established on citizens’ lands.
