At least 10 Palestinians were injured Sunday night in attacks in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers, who rampaged through nearby villages after holding a funeral for a settler killed in a car crash a night earlier.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said the wounded in Deir al-Hatab included a 45-year-old man shot in the foot and a woman suffering from smoke inhalation. Videos obtained by The Associated Press show cars and homes set ablaze as army flares lit up the sky near the village east of Nablus and next to the Israeli settlement of Elon Moreh.

The arson and assaults in four Nablus-area villages on Sunday came a day after the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported simultaneous attacks in at least six communities overnight — the latest spates of violence in the occupied West Bank.

Sunday night’s rampage came after mourners in the settlement of Elon Moreh held a funeral for Yehuda Sherman, an 18-year-old Israeli settler. Authorities said he was killed in a collision with a Palestinian vehicle in an area north of the villages attacked. Police said they were investigating the settlers’ claims that the collision was deliberate. Israel’s military did not respond to questions about Sunday night’s attacks.

6. Words definitely matter. It's a worn out PC term...

That's been around for a while and needs to be retired. Calling them agitators wouldn't be off target.

3. It's Like That Whole Country

Has lost their minds. It's even worse than us after 9/11.

4. Settler violence and depravity has been going on for decades.

Most of them got away with it too, never faced justice. The entitlement, arrogance and cruelty only got worse with impunity and the genocide in Gaza. Really sick people. But the police, the IDF and the STATE all look away and protect them. It's clearly a societal problem, not just a settler issue. Actually, Israel needs these people to "settle" Palestine or in other words steal Palestinian land. Truly one of the great, ongoing injustices of our time.

8. Using Religion for cover to do EVIL.

Not a good look.

Barbarism is the #1 Religion on this planet, by far.

I BLAME RELIGION.

10. Pariah state...

Is going to piss off enough people to where they could get themselves wiped off the map.

I have lost the empathy and sympathy I once had for them. What they bring upon themselves from the international world at this point, is not going to be good for them... and our country had better stop funding them and their aggression.

That is all.
