Israeli settlers injured at least five Palestinians in two separate attacks in the occupied West Bank on Friday, according to Wafa news agency.
Three members of a family were assaulted in the Wadi al-Zarqa nature reserve near the village of Beitillu, northwest of Ramallah, local sources said. The attack left one with a broken arm, the sources said, adding that the settlers also stole their mobile phones.
In a separate incident near al-Khan al-Ahmar, east of East Jerusalem, Israeli settlers attacked the village, with one settler on a motorbike ramming into two Palestinians, causing bruising, according to the Jerusalem Governorate. Another settler pepper-sprayed several other villagers.
The governorate said the attackers also attempted to steal a flock of sheep but were driven back by residents. It added that Israeli forces later entered the village and detained four Palestinians after they tried to fend off the attack.
