On 5 Aug. 2017, a large group of young settlers physically and verbally
assaulted two Palestinian youths who were walking in the Jaber
neighborhood of Hebron. When the youths tried to defend themselves,
soldiers arrested one of them. He was released later that night.
Residents who witnessed the scene tried to convince the soldiers to
release the boy and asked that they stop the attack, but the settlers
continued to act violently, injuring three residents. B’Tselem volunteer
‘Aref Jaber captured parts of the incident on video.
