Israeli hurt in clash between settlers and Palestinians

One Israeli is wounded in a fracas between Israelis and Palestinians near Yattir in the southern West Bank, the army says.

During the dispute, the Palestinians threw rocks at the settlers, who responded by firing gunshots into the air.

The Israeli was taken to the hospital, the army says. It is not clear how he was injured or what his condition is.

There was initially a report that someone was stabbed in the incident, but the army denies this.

The police have opened an investigation into the incident.
