Settlers said to raid Palestinian village, assaulting residents and stealing livestock; no arrests made

Settlers were filmed raiding the Palestinian village of Yabroud earlier this evening, with the official Palestinian Authority news site Wafa reporting that the suspects attacked locals and stole livestock.

Footage shows one of the suspects armed with a machine gun, akin to those that have been supplied to settlers by the IDF and the National Security Ministry. They are supposed to be used for the protection of settlements, but have increasingly been employed by settlers in attacks on neighboring Palestinian villages that have gone almost entirely unchecked by Israeli authorities.

Wafa says that Yabroud residents tried to repel the attack, but that one of them was assaulted by settlers with clubs.

Wafa also cites a witness who said that the settlers stole a horse and dozens of sheep during the raid.

There are no reports of arrests.
