A 26-year-old Palestinian nurse, Muhammad al-Mutawwar, was reportedly paralyzed by settler gunfire near Sa'ir in the Hebron area, according to a live update carried by The Times of Israel [1]. He sustained a spinal cord injury, and the Palestinian Nursing and Midwifery Association said the gunshot wound resulted in permanent paralysis [1]. We are keeping the word 'reportedly' because this account reaches us through a liveblog rather than a standalone, verifiable report, and the medical assessment is attributed to a professional association rather than to a hospital record we have seen.
The gunfire is reported to have come from roughly 30 settlers from a newly established outpost, about 10 days old, who opened fire on the al-Uddeissa area [1]. A second woman was also struck during the same incident [1]. The detail that matters for the record is the sequence: an outpost goes up, and within days the land around it becomes the site of a shooting that a Palestinian may not recover from.
Separately, and on the same day, Al Jazeera reported that Israeli forces stormed a wedding hall in al-Eizariya town in the occupied West Bank and assaulted Palestinian attendees, citing the Palestinian news agency WAFA [2]. The report did not specify injuries or arrests. We hold both accounts to what their sources say and no further.
