Settler attacks injure 11Palestinian sources report that at least 11 Palestinians were wounded in multiple attacks by settlers across the West Bank.

Seven Palestinians were wounded in a settler attack on farmers north of Hebron in the southern West Bank, the Palestinian Authority’s news agency WAFA reports.

All seven were taken to a hospital in nearby Halhul after settlers from the Karmei Zur settlement attacked them with stones, clubs and tear gas, WAFA says.

Footage from the area published by Palestinian media appears to show settlers throwing rocks over a road. It was unclear if the incident captured in the footage was the same as the one reported by WAFA.

Citing a security source, the outlet also reports that four settlers severely beat an 18-year-old Palestinian man west of Ramallah. The victim was taken to a hospital, where his condition was described as stable, according to WAFA.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society reports that a 26-year-old man was hit in the foot by IDF gunfire in Qalqilya; a 64-year-old man was assaulted by settlers near the Allenby Bridge border crossing with Jordan; and a man and his daughter were assaulted by settlers south of Nablus, on the Ramallah-Nablus road and their vehicle was set on fire.
