A Palestinian shepherd from the same village contacted volunteers from Operation Dove at 4:45 p.m. on Saturday, asking them to come and look at the child prior to his hospitalization. When Operation Dove volunteers arrived at Humra Valley, five masked settlers began to throw rocks at them; One settler threw rocks using a slingshot. The settlers stopped throwing rocks and returned to the Havat Ma’on outpost when several Palestinians from the village of At-Tuwani arrived on the scene.
