A 7-year-old Israeli boy is lightly hurt after Palestinians hurled stones at Israeli vehicles in the Huwara area in the northern West Bank, medics say.
The Rescuers Without Borders emergency service says another two children are treated for anxiety following the attack.
According to Palestinian media reports and footage published online, dozens of settlers from the nearby settlement of Yitzhar arrived at the scene and clashed with Palestinians in response.
נראה כמיליציה משולבת: מתנחלים יורדים לבצע פעולת נקם בתוך הכפר הפלסטיני חווארה בטענה כי זרקו עליהם אבנים, מכים עם אלות, מנפצים רכבים ותוקפים תושבים, לצד חיילים ששומרים עליהם. pic.twitter.com/m6nynEnDbv
