A group of Israeli settlers attacked several Palestinian homes in Umm Safa village in the northwest of Ramallah amid heavy gunfire.
Local sources reported that dozens of settlers escorted by Israeli forces stormed Umm Safa and opened fire at homes.
At least two young men were injured during the settler attack and were transferred to hospital later.
Since the Israeli genocidal war began on Oct. 7, settler rampage in the West Bank has flared in the occupied territory. Palestinian health officials earlier said that 703 Palestinians, including 147 children, have been killed by Israeli fire.
Many have been killed during Israeli military raids into Palestinian cities and towns, but settlers have killed at least 11 Palestinians, including two children, and injured 234 people, according to AIDA, a coalition of nonprofits and other groups working in the territory.
Rights groups also have criticized Israel for allowing its forces as well as settlers to operate with “endemic impunity” in their attacks against Palestinians.
