Israelis from a settlement community attacked a Palestinian village early Monday morning, setting fires and throwing rocks at residents in an apparent act of revenge for a terror attack the day before, Israeli media reported.
The clashes broke out in the Palestinian village of Jaloud in the West Bank - biblical Judea and Samaria. The alleged attackers were Israelis from the nearby settlement of Shiloh, according to the left-wing human rights group B'Tselem.
The Israeli military confirmed that Israeli civilians and Palestinians hurled rocks at each other outside the village and that “a number of locations were ignited.” The military did not provide details on what triggered the violence.
