Palestinian vehicle damaged by settlers hurling stones during northern West Bank clash
The Yesh Din rights group says settlers are currently attacking Palestinians in the northern West Bank village of Kusra.
Several Palestinian vehicles and a chicken coop have been damaged by stones thrown by settlers, according to photos released by Yesh Din.
Palestinians trying to block the settlers were pushed back by the IDF, which fired teargas at the Kusra residents, Yesh Din says, adding that several people have apparently been injured.
The IDF says it responded to a violent clash between settlers and Palestinians, confirms that a Palestinian vehicle had been damaged and adds that it fired in the air to disperse the clash.
