Nearly two dozen masked settlers attacked Border Police last night near Beit El in the central West Bank, the Kan public broadcaster reports.
The settlers were hurling stones at Palestinian vehicles when the Israeli troops arrived at the scene to push them back.
The settlers burned tires, hurled stones at the border cops and doused them with pepper spray, Kan says.
One of the settlers was arrested and one Border Police officer was lightly injured.
No Palestinians were injured by the stone throwing.
