JERUSALEM - Israeli police say two Jewish settlers have been arrested in an assault on a Palestinian family.
Police say one is a minor, and both were to be brought Tuesday before an Israeli court.
Last week, an Israeli human rights group released a video showing what it said were four settlers attacking a Palestinian family as they tended their sheep in the southern West Bank. An older Palestinian couple was hospitalized after the attack, and their nephew was also wounded.
The nephew said settlers attacked him after they ordered him to get off the land and he refused.
He said his aunt and uncle were also clubbed after they came to his aid.
His aunt filmed the start of the attack, but apparently dropped the camera when she went to help her nephew.
