Armed settlers attacked several Palestinian homes in Surif, northwest of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.

Municipal Council member Mahmoud Naji told Wafa news agency that dozens of armed people from the Bat Ayin illegal settlement, under the protection of the Israeli army, attacked Palestinian homes in the Deir al-Nil area and shot at them.

Resident Abdullah Ghneimat said the settlers broke the windows of his house and set fire to a nearby area. He said residents extinguished the fire before it reached the house.
