Dozens of Israeli settlers are protesting in the northern West Bank town of Huwara following a deadly shooting attack there earlier today.

According to the demonstrators, Border Police officers are attempting to disperse the crowd with tear gas.

The protesters say they are demanding the Israeli security forces deal with the “nests of terror” in the area.

There are no immediate reports of injuries or arrests.

Palestinian media reports claim the settlers have set fire to a home in the area.

Earlier, several homes in the town were set on fire by settlers, according to the Yesh Din rights group.
