Palestinian media outlets report that two women were injured in a settler attack in Jurish, near Nablus, earlier today. The Palestine Red Crescent Society says it treated a 35-year-old pregnant woman and a 65-year-old woman who were reportedly injured after settlers threw stones at Palestinian homes.

In addition, settlers entered the village of Deir Jarir near Ramallah, where clashes broke out with Palestinians, recent reports say.

Two Palestinians were reportedly wounded by gunfire, the reports say, though it remains unclear at this stage whether the shooting was carried out by settlers or IDF forces. The IDF has not yet responded to a request for comment.

Last night, Palestinian media reported that an elderly man and a child were injured in the area of Shuwayka, south of Hebron, in a settler assault. Footage showed the two victims suffering head injuries by the side of the road.

Separately, settlers reportedly assaulted a Palestinian farmer in the South Hebron Hills.

Overnight, Palestinian media reported that settlers set fire to vehicles near the village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, and cut off a water line serving a Bedouin community living in the area.
