A horde of extremist Jewish settlers on Tuesday attacked Palestinian homes in Urif town south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
According to local sources settlers from the illegal settlement of Yitzhar attacked homes in the eastern neighborhood of the town.
However a number of Urif residents managed to fend off the attack as Israeli forces rushed to the area to provide protection for the settlers and clashed with local youths.
There was no information about wounded citizens or damaged property during the settler attack or the clashes with forces.
