Palestinian shot, seriously wounded in clashes between Jews and Palestinians in Qusra

None

A Palestinian was shot and seriously wounded Monday during clashes between residents of the Palestinian village of Qusra near Nablus and far-right wing Jewish activists who visited the area.

 

The group, the Otzma Yehudit Party, visited the area four days after an incident in which a group of boys on a Bar Mitzvah hike were attacked by a stone-throwing mob near the village. The incident resulted in the death of a Palestinian man, who the IDF said was involved in the attack on the Jewish children.

 

In the latest clashes on Monday, dozens of Palestinians pelted the group with rocks. In a bid to calm tensions, the IDF has barred the activists from entering the area.
