Masked Israeli settlers torch Palestinian village in West Bank, killing one

More than 100 extremist Israeli settlers rampaged through a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank on Thursday night, burning cars and killing at least one person and seriously injuring others. The attack, which was condemned by the Israeli Prime Minister’s office as well as the US and other allies, involved dozens of rampaging Israeli youths, many masked, setting fire to homes and vehicles with Molotov cocktails. Rifles and stones were also used in the attack on the village of Jit, located just west of Nablus -  the latest in a series of attacks by violent settlers in the West Bank. The attack came after nightfall and dramatic footage shared on social media showed cars and houses ablaze. The Palestinian Authority health ministry said a 23-year-old Palestinian, named Rasheed Seda, was killed and another Palestinian civilian was critically wounded by the “settlers’ bullets.” #Israel #WestBank #Netanyahu
