A group of Palestinian youths were suspected of attacking a number of Israeli settlers’ cars while passing near their town of Halhoul north of al-Khalil.
Israeli media sources claimed that the youths spray painted settlers’ cars.
Similar incidents were allegedly reported over the past two weeks the sources added.
Earlier on Tuesday morning 30 heavily armed settlers stormed Einabus town south of Nablus and brutally attacked a bulldozer driver while working in an agricultural land.
The settlers also opened fire at local residents when they tried to prevent the attack.
In the absence of any protection from the Israeli army or the PA Palestinian villages are routinely subjected to similar attacks.
More than 600000 Israeli settlers live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law with recent announcements of settlement expansion provoking condemnation from the international community.
