Zionist armed settlers stormed Palestinian villages in the occupied West Bank on Saturday afternoon after the body of a previously announced missing Zionist settler was found.

The hardline settlers set fire to Palestinians’ properties including houses and cars while the Palestinians confronted them.

The violent clashes between Palestinians and occupiers were focused in the towns of Beitin and Duma, close to Ramallah, according to local media.

Six Palestinians were injured, one of them critically after being shot in the head, as Israeli settlers rampaged through al-Mughayyir, the Palestinian Authority official news outlet Wafa reported on Saturday afternoon, according to Zionist regime’s local media.

Wafa said that settlers torched a home in al-Mughayyir as well as the firetruck that came to try and put out the blaze. It said settlers also opened fire on the funeral procession of Abu Alia.

The Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, issued a statement in response to the settlers’ attacks on the West Bank, calling for an uprising of the Palestinian nation and serious action by the international community.
