Palestinian media outlets report that three Palestinians were injured in beatings and stone-throwing in recent hours while traveling between Salfit and the village of Bruqin in the northern West Bank.

According to the reports, extremist settlers attacked the Palestinians’ vehicle with stones and then beat them.

It was also reported that graffiti was sprayed on a mosque in the village of Jalud, in the Nablus area of the northern West Bank. The graffiti read “Revenge, Yehuda,” apparently referring to the death of Yehuda Sherman, who was killed yesterday in a collision between a Palestinian and an Israeli vehicle in the Jenin area. Police initially said the incident was a traffic accident, but several hours later the army and police announced they were examining the possibility that it was a deliberate attack.

Overnight, according to a security source who spoke with The Times of Israel, there were around 20 incidents of settler attacks in various villages and on roads across the northern West Bank, including arson, stone-throwing and assaults. According to the Red Crescent, nine people were injured in the attacks.
