The Palestinian victims sustained injuries to their chest and other parts of their bodies as a result of being targeted by another settler mob in the West Bank.

Six Palestinians were injured in the West Bank town of Burqa, near Ramallah, following a raid on the weekend by hundreds of armed Israeli settlers, the Palestinian health ministry has said, who attacked residents and destroyed property.

Health workers are treating Palestinians injured by live bullets with three victims being shot in the chest and one in a serious condition.

Two more were injured in the lower limbs and another sustained a minor injury to their upper limbs, while Israeli soldiers watched on.
