A group of Jewish settlers stormed Kafr ad-Dik town west of Salfit and attacked a number of local homes late on Thursday.
Under military protection the settlers stormed the town amid heavy firing of teargas bombs by Israeli occupation forces (IOF) who opened fire at Palestinian youths while trying to stop the settlers’ attack.
Two young men were seriously injured during the IOF assault and immediately taken to hospital.
Kafr ad-Dik has been subjected to almost daily settler attacks over the past weeks supported by Israeli demolition orders and bulldozing operations.
There are more than 250 illegal Jewish settlements in the West Bank which Israel occupied in 1967.
More than 600000 Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank make life more difficult for Palestinians living under the occupation.
Under international law all Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are considered illegal.
