Settlers hurl rocks at Israeli troops in West Bank, injuring 1

A border police officer is lightly injured when settlers from the hard-line settlement of Yitzhar threw rocks at Israeli security forces in the northern West Bank, according to a police statement.

The female officer was taken to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva for treatment.

The Palestinian villages around Yitzhar have seen a series of anti-Arab hate crime attacks in recent months, with the Israeli security establishment viewing the settlement as the source of a spate of Jewish ultra-nationalist crimes.
