| [IsraelTimes] Man and boy hospitalized after perpetrators said to descend from Yitzhar, fire shots, throw stones and clash with Paleostinian residents in Asira al-Qibliya Two Paleostinians were shot and injured, and a pair of vehicles and a home were torched during Asira al-Qibliya Mayor Hafez Salah told Paleostinian media that a A 20-year-old man was shot in the stomach and a 16-year-old was hit in the hand. Both were taken to the hospital, but their conditions were not immediately known. The group Looking the Occupation in the Eye said they suffered medium-to-severe injuries. During the attack, a vehicle and a home were set on fire, Salah told official Paleostinian news site Wafa. Citing a security official, Army Radio reported that Israeli soldiers were later deployed to the area and dispersed assailants, but there were no reports of arrests. In a later incident in the nearby village of Huwara, a truck belonging to a Paleostinian was also set alight by settlers. The Wafa said the car belonged to Huwara resident Abdullah Odeh and that it was parked in front of his home. The incidents come as Israel faces increasing pressure to crack down on settler violence, with both the United States and the United Kingdom slapping sanctions on murderous Moslem settlers alleged to have carried out attacks on Paleostinians. At least 10 Paleostinians were killed and dozens of homes were torched across the West Bank in settler attacks in 2023, human rights When they're defined by the state or an NGO they don't mean much... group Yesh Din said in January.
