50 Palestinians attack Jewish farm near Duma, two wounded
One of the wounded is an IDF soldier on leave, who fired his gun into the air and then at one of the terrorists, who was wounded from the gunfire.
About 50 Palestinians attacked residents of a new Jewish farm near the village of Duma in the West Bank, throwing stones and setting off firecrackers, Rescue Judea and Samaria Without Borders said.
Two people were injured. Both remained conscious and were evacuated for hospitalization.
One of the wounded is an off-duty IDF soldier on leave, who fired his gun into the air and then at one of the terrorists, who was wounded from the gunfire. The terrorists at the scene almost stole the soldier's weapon. The other was a civilian. Both were evacuated from the scene for medical treatment.
Previous recent extremist settler attacks, but by Israelis
Late last month, Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary No Other Land, was killed during clashes with settlers in the village of Umm al-Khair in the West Bank.
He was allegedly killed by Yinon Levi, an extremist who was sanctioned by the Biden administration.
A week earlier, extremist settlers had set fire to and vandalized several cars belonging to Palestinians in the West Bank, spraying the word "vengeance" on nearby structures.
