A horde of extremist Jewish settlers on Saturday attacked Palestinian homes in Burin town south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
Local official Ghassan Daghlas said that more than 30 settlers escorted by Israeli forces hurled stones at homes in the eastern area of Burin especially the house of Ibrahim Eid.
Daghlas added that one citizen was injured by a stone as local residents were trying to fend off the settlers.
He also said that settlers set fire to swaths of land belonging to local residents in the area before leaving for their settlement.
Later the Red Crescent said that its ambulance crews provided medical assistance for eight Palestinians who suffered from their exposure to tear gas and four others who were beaten during the events in Burin.
