Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank after a suspected Palestinian killed an Israeli man in a shooting earlier on Thursday.
According to Israeli and Palestinian reports, shops and cars in the Deir Sharaf village near Nablus were set ablaze by settlers.
Israeli forces scuffled with settlers at the scene to contain the assaults, fearing it would lead to more violence, Palestinian media reported.
Shortly after fires were reported, gunshots were heard in the village, according to Palestinian outlets. The source of the gunshots was not immediately clear.
