Four masked settlers with clubs drove Khalil 'Awad's flock of about 300 sheep from his private land toward the Havat Ma'on outpost. When 'Awad, his wife 'Aishah and his nephew 'Ali found the flock near the outpost, settlers came out and beat 'Aishah and 'Ali with clubs. 'Ali suffered fractures in his left leg. The family recovered the flock and filed a complaint with the Palestinian DCO.
