A group of Zionist settlers brutally assaulted Palestinians and vandalized property in a West Bank village near Nablus Thursday overnight, Palestinian media reported Friday.

Dozens of cars were damaged in Qaryut, south of Nablus, and three people were wounded.

Assailants broke into the home of one family, smashed furniture and beat one of its inhabitants, Wael Moqbel.

Photos shared on social media showed Moqbel in hospital with intense swelling in his face.

Israeli occupation police said they had “received reports” of the attack and were investigating the matter.

Earlier on Tuesday, a Zionist settler was killed and two others were wounded in a shooting near an Israeli settlement in occupied West Bank.
