Settlers assault Palestinians, burn cars in overnight West Bank raid; no arrests
Israeli settlers raided the West Bank Palestinian town of Surif overnight Friday-Saturday, where they attacked residents, set fire to cars and damaged property, according to Israeli authorities and Palestinian media.
The IDF said Saturday morning that it received a report of three Palestinians who were wounded after being attacked by Israelis in Surif, west of Hebron, and dispatched troops to the area.
The troops located cars that were set on fire, along with Hebrew graffiti sprayed on a structure, the army said.
No arrests were made as the settlers apparently fled before the IDF arrived.
Footage purportedly from the town showed masked Israelis hurling stones at a home, as well as a burnt-out car following the attack.
According to Surif’s Mayor, Hazem Gheimat, the attackers arrived from the nearby settlement of Bat Ayin, and set fire to several cars before fleeing.
