Settlers open gunfire at Palestinians near Jericho

Extremist Israeli settlers opened gunfire today at Palestinian civilians in the Bedouin village of Arab Lemlehat, to the west of Jericho in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.

Hasan Mlehat, a local activist, told WAFA that a group of armed Israeli settlers broke into the village and fired live shots at local residents. No injuries were reported.

This was the latest in an unprecedented wave of settler terrorism across the occupied West Bank.

Earlier this week, thousands of settlers raided the Palestinian village of Huwwara, south of Nablus, killing a humanitarian activist and setting hundreds of vehicles and homes on fire.
