Police in the West Bank were searching Saturday for a group of
settlers who allegedly hurled rocks at a six-year-old Palestinian girl,
hitting her in the head and injuring her, the Ynet news site reported.
The girl, from the village of Tuba near the city of Hebron, was out
picking herbs to feed to the family’s livestock when she was attacked
and pelted with rocks near the illegal outpost of Havat Maon. A second
girl was with her at the time.
The assailants were described by an eyewitness as two masked men who
appeared to be trying to force the girls away from the settlement.
The young girl was hit in the head and lightly wounded. She received
treatment near her home by an Israeli military doctor, who said she did
not appear to have been badly hurt.
The family lodged a complaint with police, and authorities in the region were searching for the suspects.
Tensions between the two communities in the area often run high, as
vigilantes from both sides regularly throw stones and commit acts of
violence and vandalism against one another
