Amid the manhunt for a missing 14-year-old Israeli boy who had been living in an illegal West Bank outpost, the Yesh Din rights group reports that dozens of settlers have invaded the Palestinian village of Al-Mughayyir and are clashing with residents.

Yesh Din reports that the settlers opened fire and that five Palestinians have been wounded.

Meanwhile, a settler medic group reports that three soldiers have been lightly injured upon arriving at the scene to break up the clash.

For its part, Magen David Adom says it treated two young men aged 20 and 16 who were transferred to a nearby hospital with light injuries.
