Context

Al Jazeera reports that video shows an Israeli settler shouting at and assaulting a Palestinian child during an attack on a family east of Yatta in the occupied West Bank. The report gives no details on the child's age or injuries, the date of the incident, or any response from Israeli authorities.

Both submitted items are from the same outlet and carry identical text, so they are treated as a single source. Rights groups cited by Al Jazeera say perpetrators of such attacks are rarely held accountable.
