Israeli settlers have attacked Israeli soldiers and a Palestinian vehicle near a recently destroyed illegal outpost in the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera reports citing Israel’s Army Radio.

Ten settlers attacked Israeli soldiers stationed at the Givat Assaf Junction near Tzur Harel, east of Ramallah, with rocks. On Wednesday, Israeli authorities evacuated and destroyed an illegal outpost in the area.

Army Radio also reports that the settlers threw rocks at a Palestinian vehicle near the city of Nablus, injuring a Palestinian girl.

A security official told Army Radio that attacks from extremist settlers in the occupied West Bank are growing as they “are getting a boost from politicians”.
