Israeli settlers wounded six-year-old Palestinian Bilal Da’na from Hebron after pelting the young boy with stones near the illegal Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba, Palestinian sources in Hebron said.

Israeli soldiers stationed in the area stood by without preventing the group of settlers from assaulting the boy, locals reported, adding that when Israeli police arrived on the scene, none of the rock-throwers were arrested.

Medics from the Palestinian Red Crescent said Da’na was taken to the governmental hospital in Hebron to treat moderate head injuries. Doctors confirmed the wounds were moderate.
