Settlers stone Palestinian cars in West Bank, injuring three — reports
Hebrew media reports say a large group of Israeli settlers hurled stones at Palestinian cars on a major West Bank road, injuring at least three travelers.
According to the reports, citing an unnamed defense source, the army was called in to break up the riot on Route 60 near Luban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus.

The official Palestinian news outlet Wafa reports that three people were injured in the attacks, and damage was caused to a number of cars.
It’s unclear if the attack is related to an incident earlier in the day in which a group of settlers touring an outpost near Nablus were shot at, with one person lightly injured.
