Two Palestinian youth were injured in the attack and were transferred to the hospital for medical treatment.
“Settler violence and vandalism take place with full backing by the Israeli authorities,” the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem said.
“Sometimes soldiers take part in the assault; at other times, they stand idly by. The police make no substantial effort to investigate the incidents, nor take measures to prevent them or stop them in real-time,” B’Tselem added.
