Summary
Armed Israeli settlers raided Palestinian homes in Wadi al-Rakhim south of Yatta near Hebron on Saturday, stealing three sheep; a child, Yaseen Mohammad Shnaran, was hospitalized after severe shock and convulsions.
Osama Makhamreh, a local anti-settlement activist, said Israeli forces accompanied the settlers during the raid and fired live ammunition, though no direct physical injuries were reported.
A separate attempted sheep theft in Wadi Ajheish near As-Samu' also involved armed settlers reportedly under Israeli military protection, but residents confronted them and forced them to leave.
The incidents unfolded in the southern Hebron area amid continuing friction around settler attacks on Palestinian communities and livestock.
