A Palestinian nurse, Muhammad al-Mutawwar, was reportedly paralyzed for life after being shot in the back by settlers in Sa’ir, near Hebron, on Friday evening. The Palestinian Nursing and Midwifery Association stated this was “not a passing or individual incident, but the continuation of ongoing attacks on our Palestinian people, and on healthcare workers in particular.” Another woman was also injured in the same incident. Separately, five Palestinians were injured in a settler attack in Umm al-Khair, and a 16-year-old boy was beaten by settlers near Tubas. In Qusra, settlers attacked a Palestinian Authority crew attempting to repair damaged utilities, leading to the reported arrest of three workers by Israeli forces, despite an ongoing siege on two family homes in the village.
