Israeli occupation forces accompanying the settlers in their attack also arrested two young Palestinian men while they were in front of their homes in the neighborhood.

Earlier on Saturday, hundreds of Jewish settlers went on a rampage through the neighborhood of Bab Al-Zawiya in the old city of Hebron, terrorizing the local Palestinian residents and assaulting shopkeepers.

Settlers also attacked vendors’ stalls and passers-by as they walked through the neighborhood’s alleys, backed and guarded by the Israeli army.
