9 Palestinians wounded in settler rampage in Huwara; IDF soldier seen beating man [View all]

Nine Palestinians were wounded Saturday in a settler attack on the northern West Bank town of Huwara, Palestinian media reported, as footage from the scene showed masked assailants and at least one soldier beating Palestinians and damaging property, as clashes spread to nearby areas.

WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, said the wounded include a local councilman who was injured by shrapnel to the leg, four other people who were beaten, and another four who were tear-gassed.

Images showed that the masked settlers arrived at Huwara in pickup trucks.



Critics have accused the government and law enforcement of turning a blind eye to violent attacks by settler extremists, which have become increasingly deadly in recent years and occur on a near-daily basis. Arrests are rare and prosecutions are even less common.
