Israeli settlers attack Palestinian village, wound toddler

Ramallah: Dozens of Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank, hurling stones at cars and homes and leaving several people wounded, including a Palestinian toddler, activists said on Wednesday.

Video of Tuesday’s attack released by an Israeli rights group showed several shirtless settlers with scarves wrapped around their faces hurling stones at a cluster of homes and vehicles.



Israeli troops stood among the settlers but did not appear to be taking any action to stop them. Israeli military declined to comment. 

Police described it as a “friction incident” and said two Palestinians and a settler were arrested. It said people were wounded on both sides and that it is still investigating the incident after complaints were filed on Wednesday.
