Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and Israeli human rights activists in the West Bank village of Qusra, near Nablus, on Friday, witnesses and local media reported. Four people were transported by ambulance to receive medical care.
An eyewitness said the settlers arrived at the house where the Palestinians and activists resided, armed with clubs and crowbars, beating the occupants. Footage from the scene shows two Palestinians and two activists were wounded in the incident.
Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency service said the two Israelis who were attacked, both in their 50s, were moderately injured.
Initial reports said one of the Israeli activists had lost consciousness. However, Israeli medics said responders who arrived at the scene saw that both Israelis who were involved in the incident were conscious.
In January, ten masked settlers from a newly established illegal outpost nearby fired live ammunition towards village residents. A defense official claimed that the outpost was evacuated. However, a Palestinian resident told Haaretz that the outpost was never evacuated, and it continues to expand.
