Seven Palestinians have been wounded in the West Bank village of al-Mughayyir, most likely by live ammunition fired by either Israeli forces or settlers, according to local sources. The Israeli forces reportedly raided the village following a settler attack and have since retreated to the village entrance, which locals claim is now locked down and besieged.

The incident occurred in the midst of a growing settler violence campaign targeting Palestinians throughout the occupied West Bank. On the same day, settlers were also accused of bulldozing extensive areas of land in the nearby village of Nahalin, west of Bethlehem, to expand the Beitar Illit settlement. A Palestinian man was among those wounded and received treatment at a hospital in Ramallah.
