Sources say 2 Palestinians injured in overnight settler attack; no Israelis arrested

Settlers entered a Palestinian village in the northern Jordan Valley last night, buildings were set on fire, and two were injured by gunfire, according to a Palestinian resident, offering new details about the incident.

A group of settlers entered the Palestinian village of Bardala in the northeastern West Bank last night around 10 p.m., according to a security source speaking with The Times of Israel. The source says the settlers assaulted residents, set structures on fire, and opened fire at Palestinians. Later on, IDF forces came and opened fire to disperse the settlers and the Palestinians.

Footage from the night shows several buildings ablaze. Mahyoub Foqahaa, a resident of Bardala, tells The Times of Israel that two young men from the village sustained light injuries to their legs from gunfire by the settlers and were taken to a hospital for treatment.

Foqahaa adds that several Palestinians were detained briefly but not arrested. No Israeli suspects have been detained in connection with the incident. So far, no response has been received from the IDF.

Colonos sionistas perpetraron esta noche un pogromo contra la aldea de Bardala, en Cisjordania, donde quemaron las cosechas a los agricultores palestinos para forzar a que abandonen sus tierras y así poder robárselas.
