Five Palestinians were wounded in a settler attack in the village of Tal southwest of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank late Tuesday.
The Palestinian citizens were in their agricultural land when a group of Jewish settlers attacked them with pepper gas injuring five of them.
Local sources affirmed that the settler attack was carried out under Israeli occupation forces’ (IOF) protection.
Another man suffered different bruises and injuries after being brutally beaten and detained for several hours by IOF soldiers.
The settlers also set fire to a mobile home in the area and targeted a vehicle belonging to the Tal Village Council.
In a similar incident four Palestinians were injured in a settler attack in Tulkarem.
The four young men were in their lands near Ramin town east of the city when a group of settlers attacked them.
The young men were left bleeding without medical assistance before being taken by IOF soldiers who provided military protection for the settlers’ attack.
Another Palestinian farmer was injured in the northern Jordan Valley in a similar settler attack.
