Israeli settlers attack Palestinian villages in West Bank violence

Israeli settlers have rampaged through Palestinian villages and wounded several men in the latest flare-up of violence in the occupied West Bank. Israel's military said it responded to arson and the official Palestinian news agency reported attacks in at least six communities on Sunday. Attacks by settlers on Palestinians in the west Bank have intensified alongside a broader surge in violence since the start of the Iran war. Israel’s government has pressed ahead with new settlements in the West Bank.
