Israeli settlers raided the Bedouin Palestinian village of Arab Al-Melihat northwest of Jericho earlier this evening, hurling stones at locals and torching a barn that housed sheep, Palestinian media report.

Footage from the scene shows locals working to extinguish the blaze.

As is almost entirely the case in such incidents, there are no reports of arrests in what has led the US and other Western countries to begin sanctioning Israeli settler extremists over the past year.
