The Yesh Din rights group says a group of settlers attacked a Palestinian hamlet located in Wadi Qana in the northern West Bank. The suspects torched several tents and injured four elderly Palestinians in their 70s who live there. Two other young adults were injured as well in the attack.

“In addition to the military and police’s inability to stop the settlers, they prevented a Palestinian ambulance and fire truck from reaching the area. The incident is still going on, while the injured aren’t able to receive medical aid,” says Yesh Din.
