Hundreds of illegal Israeli settlers continued an attack, which began early on Friday, on the town of Al-Mughayyir in the eastern city of Ramallah in the central West Bank, Palestinian authorities have said, TRT World reports.

The attack has resulted in the killing of a young man and wounds to dozens of Palestinians, as well as the burning of more than 40 houses.

Palestinian factions have warned of the consequences of the attacks on Palestinian towns in the occupied West Bank and have urged a general mobilisation and resistance, demanding the international community “impose a comprehensive boycott and sanctions on all settlements and settlers.”

Separate statements by Hamas, Fatah and the National Initiative were in response to attacks on the villages of Al-Mughayyir and Deir Abu Falah, and the town of Duma, in central and northern West Bank.

“While the Zionist occupation army continues its genocidal war against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the fascist terrorist government allows gangs of settlers to attack Palestinian villages and towns in the West Bank,” said Hamas.

“Today’s attack by settler militias on the town of Al-Mughayyir resulted in the martyrdom of a Palestinian citizen, the injury of dozens, the burning of several homes and vehicles of citizens, and the sabotage of their properties.”
