Nine people were wounded in a settler attack on the Palestinian town of Huwara, south of Nablus in the northern West Bank, according to Palestinian media.

WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, says the wounded include a local councilman who was injured by shrapnel to the leg, four other people who were beaten and another four who were tear-gassed.

One of the people who was beaten sustained head wounds, WAFA says. Footage published by Palestinian media shows a young man lying on the road and apparently bleeding from the head as a Red Crescent medic attends to him.

According to WAFA, dozens of settlers who attacked Huwara also hurled stones at several buildings, including the municipality building; smashed the windows of multiple cars; and stole a car, a bicycle and about 35 sheep.

Security camera footage from Huwara, timestamped to shortly past 11 a.m., shows several hooded figures smashing a parked car. Threads of tzitzit, a Jewish ritual undergarment, can be seen dangling from under some of the attackers’ hoodies.
