Sources in the Palestinian Red Crescent tell the official Palestinian news agency that seven Palestinians were injured during a settler attack on the villages of Aqraba and Khirbet al-Tawil in the Nablus area.
According to Palestinian reports, two Palestinians in Aqraba sustained light injuries from gunfire. It is currently unclear whether the shooting came from settlers or Israeli soldiers who were documented arriving at the scene.
Additionally, five other Palestinians were reported to have sustained blunt-force injuries from settler assaults. It’s unclear how many settlers participated in the attack, according to the reports.
The IDF has yet to issue a response.
