A six-year-old Palestinian boy living in the West Bank town of Hebron has become one of the latest victims of attacks by Israeli settlers. His family say he was attacked for no apparent reason.

The attack came on the same day that Israel's defence minister Ehud Barak called right-wing settlers "the biggest threat to democracy and peace", at a ceremony to mark the 13th anniversary of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, a leading proponent of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
