A Palestinian man has been shot and injured by Israeli forces following an attack carried out by Israeli settlers on Palestinian homes in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, according to the Wafa news agency.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews dealt with a 32-year-old man who was injured during the assault and was later transferred to hospital for treatment, Wafa said.
Beit Furik Mayor Hussein Hajj Muhammad said the settlers attacked homes on the outskirts of the al-Dubbat neighbourhood in the town, and residents came out to confront them, the agency reported.
The incident comes a week after settlers attacked the same area last Saturday, where they set fire to several Palestinian vehicles and agricultural areas, according to Wafa.
