The Palestinian Red Crescent Society claimed Saturday that two Palestinians were wounded in a settler attack near the central West Bank town of al-Mughayyir, and that three more — a young man who was seriously injured as well as two minors — were hit by IDF gunfire in the northern West Bank’s Beit Furik following an earlier clash with settlers.

The IDF did not immediately respond to requests for comment on either incident.

According to the Red Crescent, two young men were rushed to the hospital from al-Mughayyir on Saturday afternoon after allegedly being shot by settlers who stormed the small compound of Abu Hamam, on the outskirts of the Ramallah-area town.

Speaking to the Hamas-affiliated Quds News Network, a young woman from Abu Hamam claimed a settler named Moshe punched her in the face, knocked her to the ground and kicked her as her small daughter was by her side.

“They were beating us and shooting us,” she said. “I hid my father behind me. I said, let them beat me and not him.”

In separate footage she filmed from the compound, the same woman said the settlers robbed homes there. “They left nothing,” she said. “But thank God, we’re okay.”

Settlers also reportedly set fire to at least one agricultural structure in the nearby village of Abu Falah.

Footage published by Palestinian outlets showed the roadside village in flames. No injuries were reported.

Separately, the Red Crescent said a 20-year-old man was hospitalized in serious condition Saturday evening after being shot in the head by IDF troops in the Palestinian village of Beit Furik, east of Nablus in the northern West Bank.

A 16-year-old was also hospitalized after being shot in the leg, the Red Crescent claimed.

According to Palestinian media, the two were shot amid IDF operations in the village following a clash between locals and settlers on the outskirts of Beit Furik earlier in the day.

During the operation, soldiers reportedly detained several Palestinians and also fired at a car, wounding a teenage boy, who was also hospitalized. The Red Crescent confirmed at the time that it was treating a 14-year-old in Beit Furik for bullet wounds.

Settler attacks have spiked since the Hamas-led onslaught of October 7, 2023, that sparked the war in Gaza. On Wednesday, settlers attacked the Palestinian town of Mukhmas, some 15 kilometers (nine miles) south of al-Mughayyir, and shot three people, one of whom later died of his wounds, according to the Palestinian Authority.
