Dozens of settlers have raided the Palestinian village of Yasuf in the northern West Bank, hurling stones at residents and property, footage from the scene shows.

A woman was struck by a rock, requiring hospitalization, Palestinian media reports.

The IDF arrived at the scene shortly after the attack began but did not arrest the perpetrators, instead firing teargas at young Palestinian residents who left their homes to try and confront the settlers, Palestinian media reports.

The IDF does not immediately respond to a request for comment.

While settler violence has become a regular occurrence in the West Bank, arrests are extremely rare, leading several Western countries to begin sanctioning Israeli extremists in the West Bank earlier this year.
