Clashes between settlers and Palestinians are intensifying in a number of locations across the West Bank, Palestinian media reports.
The violence comes after the discovery of the body of 14-year-old Benjamin Achimeir in the West Bank, murdered in what the IDF says was a terror attack.
Settlers reportedly entered the towns of Beitin and Duma, close to Ramallah. A number of vehicles were said to have been set alight by settlers in Duma.
Images showed masked settlers gathered on a hillside overlooking al-Mughayyir.
Yesterday, settlers rampaged in al-Mughayyir and set fire to houses and cars, sparking clashes between Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in which a Palestinian man was killed and dozens of others injured.
