Dozens of Israeli settlers who raided the town of Kifl Haris to perform religious rituals at Islamic shrines have also attacked homes and vehicles there, according to the Wafa news agency.

The raid on Kifl Haris, located north of Salfit in the occupied West Bank, took place under the protection of Israeli soldiers, Wafa reported.

Prior to the raid, the soldiers closed the gate to the town, and forced shop owners to shutter their businesses and imposed a curfew there, the agency added.
