A Palestinian man and his underage son were hospitalized after being attacked by settlers in Khirbet Shuweika, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank on Friday, Palestinian media reported.

Footage published by Palestinian media shows the pair on the side of a road, with the boy bleeding from the back of his head and the father bleeding from a gash on the side of his forehead.

Separate footage showed them receiving treatment at a hospital.

WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, reported that the two were attacked by several settlers wielding sharp instruments, who also shattered the windows of the Palestinians’ car.

Last week, there were several violent attacks reportedly carried out by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

In one incident, four Palestinians were wounded, including a 71-year-old woman, during a confrontation between settlers and the residents of a village east of Hebron.
