WEST BANK, (Palestine Foundation Information Center), A Palestinian man and his daughter sustained injuries on Thursday in an attack carried out by extremist Jewish settlers on the road connecting Ramallah and Nablus, near the village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiya south of Nablus.
The Red Crescent said that its paramedic provided a man and his daughter with first aid on the road in southern Nablus following the settler attack, and then transferred them to the hospital.
The Red Crescent noted that one of its ambulances managed to reach the scene and evacuated the wounded, although the presence of violent settlers in the area was posing a direct threat to its paramedics.
According to eyewitnesses, the man and his daughter were injured after a horde of settlers attacked their car on the road and then set it ablaze, completely burning it.
However, the Jerusalem Post website said that Israeli military and police forces responded to several incidents of settler violence in the West Bank near the Shilo junction on Thursday afternoon.
According to the news website, masked settlers launched stone-throwing attacks on Palestinian cars and torched tires along Highway 60 after a Jewish settler outpost in the area was evacuated.
Several Palestinians were injured as a result, and one vehicle was destroyed.
The website cited an Israeli military source as saying that those settlers set a Palestinian’s car on fire and then assaulted the passengers in the vehicle.
One Palestinian woman, who escaped the vehicle, suffered from smoke inhalation, and was treated by the Red Crescent near the settlement of Eli, according to the Jerusalem Post.
About 50 settlers reportedly attacked Palestinian citizens and cars near the village of al-Lubban al-Sharqiya.
In a separate incident, seven Palestinian citizens suffered injuries and bruises after extremist settlers attacked them in the north of al-Khalil province.
According to local sources, a group of armed settlers from the illegal settlement of Karmei Tzur hurled stones at several Palestinian farmers and then attacked them with clubs and pepper spray.
The sources added that the farmers were trying to reach their swaths of agricultural land between the towns of Halhul and Beit Ummar when the settlers assaulted them.
The wounded farmers were transported by ambulance crews to the Mahmoud Abbas Hospital in Halhul town.
