The head of the village council of Um Safa, northwest of Ramallah, says four Palestinians were wounded by gunfire during clashes with Israeli forces that erupted, according to him, after confrontations with settlers in the area. The account has not been independently verified.
The head of the Um Safa village council, northwest of Ramallah, reported Saturday afternoon that four Palestinians were wounded by gunfire during clashes with Israeli forces. According to his account, the clashes began after confrontations with settlers in the area. The report relies on a single Palestinian source and has not been independently corroborated.
This follows a similar incident reported earlier on Saturday, in which Palestinian reports — cited by Israeli media outlet ynet — said settlers attacked a village north of Ramallah, wounding an unspecified number of people. The current report comes from the same general area, Um Safa, and describes a sequence in which settlers clashed with Palestinians, and the IDF then intervened with live fire. The number of wounded and the circumstances remain unverified by Israeli or independent sources.
