Jerusalem, 14th May, 2016 (WAM) Israeli settlers on Saturday night attacked a Palestinian house in Tal Rumeida neighborhood in the southern West Bank city of Hebron, injuring a woman and her child.

A group of settlers stormed the family house of Riyad Abu Hazza, where they beat the wife, causing several bruises and cuts across her body.

Then one of the invaders pepper-sprayed Hazza's daughter on her face, causing her to faint.

Local media reported Emad Abu Shamsiya, coordinator for Human Rights Coalition, as saying that a group of activists rushed to the house to help fend off settlers and provide first aid to the injured woman and her daughter before local medics reached the house.
