Israeli settlers injure eight Palestinians near Hebron, says Palestinian Red Crescent

What happened

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that eight Palestinians were injured in an attack by Israeli settlers in Khirbet Asafi, located in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. This information comes from a regional public source, Middle East Eye Gaza.

Outside Brief is treating this as a source-led account. Any disputed responsibility, casualty figure, battlefield claim or single-source assertion should be treated as unconfirmed/hearsay unless confirmed by another reliable source or a named official. The source notes that settlers have repeatedly attacked the area, seeking to displace Palestinian communities. This reflects ongoing tensions and violence in Masafer Yatta, a contested area where around 50 acres of land have been seized by settlers.

Masafer Yatta has gained wider international attention partly because it is featured in the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," which highlights the struggles of Palestinians facing displacement and settler violence.
