A local official reported that 12 Palestinians were injured in the attacks, which included four individuals with dual nationality.
The New Straits Times reports that American photographer Heidi Levine, working for The Washington Post, was also attacked by more than 50 masked settlers while working near the villages of Abu Falah and Turmus Ayya.
