In the old city in Hebron, two boys, ages 14 and 15, residents of Beit Hadassah
Settlement, threw multiple stones, some as large as 5 inches, at Palestinians
walking past in the market place. One nine year old boy was struck with two
stones causing a head injury that splattered the sidewalk and storefront with
blood. An ambulance arrived to rush the boy to the hospital for emergency care.

An IDF soldier stationed beside the settlement had neither tried to stop the
boys nor take any action against the two teens who had hurled these stones at
the people shopping below. An Israeli Policeman later called on a resident who
saw much of the incident and took information to investigate further into this
tragedy.

This same resident's house is back to back with the Beit Hadassah
settlement.Besides enduring daily harassment from settles he needs to board his
windows toprotect his family from the violence of the settlers. Lately, he
reported several incidents, including settlers from Beit Hadassah smashing his
car windows and throwing eggs at his store.
