Israeli settlers are marching from Tel Rumeida neighbourhood in occupied West Bank’s Hebron to the Ibrahimi Mosque under the protection of Israeli forces, Al Jazeera Arabic reports.

Al Jazeera quoted the Wafa news agency as saying that Israeli settlers assaulted and injured an elderly Palestinian man.

Aref Jaber, a local activist, told Wafa that settlers had carried out a provocative tour in the Jaber neighbourhood and attacked 64-year-old Abdul Aziz al-Shantir after entering his shop near the Ibrahimi Mosque, leaving him with head injuries.
