Occupied Jerusalem, Sept. 24 (SANA) Two Palestinians were injured when Israeli settlers attacked a West Bank village, while Israeli forces arrested four Palestinians and detained 17 others for questioning in raids across the occupied territory, WAFA reported on Thursday.
Dozens of settlers attacked Farkha, west of Salfit, and attempted to steal sheep before severely beating two young Palestinians, injuring them, the Palestinian News and Information Agency (WAFA) reported, citing local sources. Residents confronted the settlers and forced them to leave the area.
Israeli forces also arrested two young men in Silat al-Harithiya, west of Jenin, another near Qalandia refugee camp, north of occupied Jerusalem, and a fourth in Husan, west of Bethlehem.
In Tammun, southeast of Tubas, Israeli forces raided several neighborhoods and homes early on Thursday and detained 17 Palestinians for field questioning.
Elsewhere, Israeli bulldozers razed about 31 dunams (31,000 square meters) of Palestinian-owned land in Beit Rima, northwest of Ramallah, uprooting more than 400 olive trees, according to local sources.
Settlers also attacked Attara, north of Ramallah, setting fire to two Palestinian-owned vehicles and spray-painting racist and anti-Palestinian slogans on several properties.
