The 23-year-old man was shot and several people were injured as settlers set cars ablaze and destroyed property.
A Palestinian man has been killed and several people were injured after dozens of Israeli settlers went on a rampage and attacked a village in the occupied West Bank, drawing widespread condemnation.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Friday that 23-year-old Mahmoud Abdel Qader Sadda was shot and another Palestinian suffered critical gunshot wounds to the chest in the attack on the village of Jit, east of Qalqilya.
Dozens of masked Israeli settlers, some armed, hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails as they stormed the village, setting fire to several cars and destroying property. They also attacked the town of Huwara.
Violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank has spiked since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October.
