Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian homes and farmland in the occupied West Bank's Hebron governorate, injuring six residents. The attack occurred in Umm al-Khair village under Israeli military presence, with one targeted home belonging to Salem al-Hathaleen. Israeli forces closed the village's main entrance and declared the area around the home a closed military zone for two days.
