HEBRON, May 17, 2025 (WAFA) – A two-year-old Palestinian girl was injured and lost consciousness on Saturday evening after being assaulted by an Israeli colonist in Hebron, in the southern occupied West Bank.

Local and medical sources told WAFA that the child, identified as Sarah Amir Dana, suffered head bruises and fainted after being attacked by an armed Israeli colonist while walking with her mother near an Israeli military checkpoint at the entrance to Al-Shuhada Street in the Old City of Hebron.

According to eyewitnesses, the assault occurred as a group of heavily armed Israeli colonists stormed the area.
