Six Palestinians were injured and six of their vehicles were torched during an attack by dozens of settlers on the central West Bank village of Silwad earlier this afternoon, the Yesh Din rights group reports.

Soldiers were present at the scene but did not intervene or apprehend any suspects, Yesh Din says.

It was the fifth settler attack in the Silwad area in the past two weeks.

Yesterday, Israeli troops razed an illegal outpost established by settlers, who managed to rebuild the makeshift homes hours later.
