Settlers said to raid Palestinian village for 2nd time in 3 days, wounding locals

Israeli settlers have raided the Palestinian village of Bruqin in the northern West Bank, torching several vehicles and homes, resulting in injuries to a number of residents, according to the Al Arabiya news outlet.

Bruqin has been targeted several times by settlers since one of its residents carried out a shooting attack that killed Israeli Tzeela Gez as she headed to the hospital to give birth earlier this month.

Residents tell Al Arabiya that the IDF arrived at the scene as settlers were carrying out their latest attack but did not intervene or carry out any arrests.

The IDF has not immediately commented on the overnight attack.

Eight Palestinians were reportedly wounded in a similar raid of Bruqin on Thursday. Then too, no arrests were made by Israeli authorities.
