Israeli settlers riot in occupied West Bank village of Huwwara

An Israeli security official reported to Haaretz that masked Israeli settlers set fire to vehicles and lit bonfires in the occupied West Bank village of Huwwara.

The settler riot was allegedly triggered by stones thrown at occupation settlers provocatively driving through the village, leading to clashes between the settlers and residents.

The official noted that several dozen masked Israeli men from a nearby settlement entered the village and began rioting. The Israeli army intervened to remove the settlers but not before they had set one vehicle on fire and vandalised another.
