An Israeli settler injures a Palestinian girl in the head in Hebron.

A two-year-old girl fainted and suffered head injuries on Saturday evening after being attacked by a settler in Hebron, in the southern West Bank.

Local and medical sources reported that the girl, Sara Amir Da'na, fainted and suffered bruises after being attacked by an armed settler, under the protection of Israeli occupation soldiers, while returning home with her mother near the Israeli checkpoint at the entrance to Shuhada Street in central Hebron.

According to local sources, the mother and her daughter were passing by while a group of armed settlers stormed the house. One of the settlers, in his forties, attacked the girl and kicked her on the head, causing her to fall to the ground and immediately faint. She was subsequently transferred by Red Crescent Society personnel to a hospital in Hebron, where her injuries were described as moderate.
