A number of people were wounded in settler attacks on the Palestinian enclave of Masafer Yatta in the southern West Bank on Tuesday, with dozens of Israelis reportedly torching homes in several villages.

Others were wounded by IDF gunfire elsewhere in the territory, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, including a man who the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry later said succumbed to his wounds.

The medical service said its own medics were stoned by settlers while trying to reach the hamlet of Khirbet al-Fakhit, where they treated a young man who suffered a head wound and a teenage girl whose arm was broken, both of whom were hospitalized.

Several other people suffered bruises in a settler attack on the nearby village of Khirbet al-Halawa, where settlers also stole 150 head of livestock, according to WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency.

A resident of the area was cited by the news agency as saying his wife and daughter were pepper-sprayed by settlers who threw stones at their home.

Another resident had his car and the windows of his home smashed, and burned firewood that he stored for heating, according to the news agency.

Footage published on social media showed settlers tossing wood into a large fire with what appeared to be a shed in the middle.
