Several days after police opened an investigation to identify the masked men who were videotaped beating three members of a Palestinian family with sticks a week ago, two settlers from the southern Mount Hebron area were arrested on Tuesday.
One of those arrested is a minor and police estimated that more arrests would be made.
The two settlers who were held Tuesday did not try to resist arrest. They were caught after a police undercover operation.

The assault took place near Sussiya in the southern Hebron Hills. In the video, shot by a teenage Palestinian girl, four individuals, who appear to be young men, march toward the family while holding sticks, with one man wielding a stick at a Palestinian farmer. The film then ends, as the camera girl fled to call for help.
