For the second night in a row, Israeli settlers have attacked a truck in the West Bank, thinking it was delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, Hebrew media reports.

Last night, they looted the truck and assaulted the driver, leaving him on the road at the Givat Assaf junction, bleeding and writhing in pain.

Tonight, the settlers torched the vehicle and assaulted the driver. He was reportedly moderately injured.
