Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday evening.
The Israelis targeted homes and cars, causing damage and leaving people injured in the village of Burqa near Nablus, °®Âþµº's Arabic-language sister service Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported. The settlers also closed the main road between Nablus and Jenin.
Burqa council chief Ziad Abu Omar said dozens of settlers who had returned to nearby Homesh - an illegal settlement evacuated in 2005 but which there have recently been efforts to restore - were responsible for the attack.
"The settlers divided themselves into groups, with one group attacking homes with stones and another damaging cars, leading to a young man being injured by a stone to the head and taken to hospital," he added.
"When the locals tried to help the families who were under settler attack, the [Israeli] occupation army arrived and targeted the residents with tear gas canisters."
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported injuries from live bullets and said 30 people suffered from the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Abu Omar said several Palestinians were injured by by stone-throwing settlers and around six cars on the main street were damaged.
In Hebron province, Palestinian vehicles came under attack on settler bypass roads.
The siege of the province continued following a deadly shooting that killed a settler on Monday.
In Masafer Yatta, a Palestinian area where residents are threatened with expulsion, a mother and daughter were injured following a settler attack, according to Red Crescent staff.
