The coordinator of the Protection and Sumud Committee in Masafer Yatta, Fuad al-Amour, reported that the settlers of “Yacoub Talia”, which is built on citizens’ lands south of Hebron, stormed the pastures in the village of Lasifer in Masafer Yatta, and beat the young, Othman Abu Qubaita, while he was grazing his sheep on his land. As a result, he sustained head injuries and bruises all over his body, after which he was taken to hospital for treatment.
