The Palestine Red Crescent Society says the number of people injured in the village of Far’ata in the West Bank during a settler attack has risen to seven.

According to the Red Crescent, some were wounded by gunfire and others by stones. It remains unclear whether any of the gunshot victims were shot by the IDF. The army has not yet commented on the incident.

The official Palestinian news agency WAFA reports that settlers entered the village and set fire to commercial buildings, two homes and agricultural land. No injuries have been reported as a result of the arson.

Far’ata is located just a few miles from Havat Gilad and the village of Tell, where one Israeli and 4 Palestinians were killed in a clash earlier today.
