HEBRON, Monday, February, 3, 2020 (WAFA) - Jewish settlers today beat a 3-year-old girl and her family while they were at their home in the neighborhood of Tel Rumeida in Hebron city in the south of the occupied West Bank, according to the head of the family Ibrahim Ramadan.

He said settlers attacked his children while they were playing at the house causing bruises to his 3-year-old daughter and terrorizing the rest of the children.

Ramadan said the settlers attacked his family in the presence of Israeli soldiers, who in turn prevented his family from leaving the house.

Some 800 notorious Jewish settlers live in the Israeli-controlled section of Hebron, known as H2, among over 20,000 Palestinians.

Harassment of Palestinians in that area is a daily occurrence, particularly following the departure of the international monitoring team, the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH), in February 2019 after Israel refused to extend the team‘s mandate.
