HEBRON, February 4, 2017 (WAFA) – Israeli troops assaulted late Friday an elderly woman and her son and grandson in Hebron’s old city, Palestinian security sources told WAFA on Saturday.

They said soldiers broke into the residence of Fatima Natsheh, 70, in the old city and assaulted her and her son, Hasan, 35, and grandson, Falah, 23, with their gun butts causing them injuries that required treatment in hospital.

Soldiers in the old city of Hebron and surrounding areas known as H2, which is under full Israeli military control where several hundred hardcore Jewish settlers live among around 15,000 Palestinians, regularly assault Palestinians living in that area for no apparent reason.

Dozens of young Palestinians were also shot and killed inside that enclave after settlers or soldiers alleged they tried to attack them.

Palestinians in H2 area say soldiers and settlers make their life very difficult to force them to leave the area and move to the part of Hebron under Palestinian control known as H1.
