The injured were moved to hospitals for medical treatment.

Israeli occupation forces accompanying the settlers in their attack also arrested two Palestinian young men while they were in front of their homes in the neighborhood.

Earlier today, hundreds of colonial Israeli settlers guarded by army went on a rampage today through the neighborhood of Bab Al-Zawiya in the old city of Hebron, terrorizing the local Palestinian residents and assaulting shop keepers.
