Israeli lightly injured in apparent clash with Palestinians in West Bank

A young Israeli man was lightly injured after being attacked by a man with a metal rod, in apparent clashes between Palestinians and Israeli settlers near Asfar, a Haredi settlement in the West Bank.

Paramedics say the 24-year-old, who sustained a head injury, was brought conscious to a Magen David Adom team in the area. He was taken to Jerusalem’s Shaare Zedek Hospital for further treatment.

According to Magen David Adom, the man’s attacker was arrested by security forces.

Footage appearing to be from the incident shows a group of Palestinians and Israelis brawling with metal rods and cursing each other as soldiers are present at the scene. According to Ynet, the clashes broke out during the evacuation of a small Israeli outpost in the region.
