Two Palestinians were injured by gunshots of the settlers during an attack on the Khalet al-Eis region in the city of Ash-Shuyukh, northeast of Hebron.
The colonists fired gunshots and burnt down areas of agricultural land, with the protection of Israeli troops which had stormed the area and drawn living ammunition. They also stormed and vandalized the Hanbali mosque in the city of Nablus.
The colonists are Israeli citizens who illegally live on private Palestinian lands. More than 700,000 of them – 10% of the population of Israel – live in 150 illegal colonies and 128 outposts spread over the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. They attacked Palestinian civilians and their property with increasing impunity, killing and injuring residents, supported by the Israeli army.
