AT LEAST 10 Palestinians were injured on Sunday night during more attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers.
The settlers rampaged through nearby villages after holding a funeral for a settler killed in a car crash a night earlier.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the wounded in Deir al-Hatab included a man shot in the foot and a woman suffering from smoke inhalation.
Footage of the attacks show cars and homes set ablaze as army flares lit up the sky near the village east of Nablus and next to the Israeli settlement of Elon Moreh.
The arson and assaults in four Nablus-area villages on Sunday came a day after the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported simultaneous attacks in at least six communities overnight.
Sunday night’s rampage came after mourners in the settlement of Elon Moreh held a funeral for settler Yehuda Sherman who many of them claim was killed deliberately by a Palestinian in a vehicle collision.
Israel’s military did not respond to questions about Sunday night’s attacks.
The violence came as Israel’s far-right government pressed ahead with new settlements in the occupied West Bank and attacks by settlers intensified.
Wafa reported on Saturday night’s attacks in the villages of Silat al Dahr and Fandaqumiya, both near Jenin, in Jalud and Salfit, both south of Nablus and in the agricultural regions Masafer Yatta and the Jordan Valley.
Homes and cars were set ablaze, Palestinians were pepper-sprayed and at least five people were wounded in the overnight assaults, which took place during the Eid al-Fitr holiday marking the end of Ramadan, the agency said.
The United Nations Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported 25 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers this year as of March 15.
Also on Sunday, four Palestinians were killed in Israeli strikes in the Gaza Strip, hospital authorities said.
One strike hit a vehicle in the central Nuseirat refugee camp and killed three police officers, according to the Awda Hospital. Another Palestinian was killed in Gaza City, according to Shifa Hospital.
The deaths were the latest fatalities among Palestinians in the coastal enclave since an October so-called ceasefire deal came into force between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
While the heaviest fighting has subsided, the ceasefire has still seen almost daily Israeli fire.
Israeli forces have carried out repeated air strikes and frequently fire on Palestinians near military-held zones, killing more than 670 Palestinians, according to Gaza health officials.
