West Bank, ALRAY - Israeli colonial settlers have shot and injured a young Palestinian man during a violent attack on Sinjil village, north of Ramallah, in the central occupied West Bank.

According to local sources, a group of Israeli colonial settlers attacked homes on the outskirts of the village and opened fire at local citizens, shooting a young man in the abdomen.

The injured young man was rushed to a local hospital for treatment.

Israeli colonial settlers regularly attack local citizens and farmers in the village, which is surrounded by illegal settlements and outposts on three sides.

Nearly 700,000 Israeli colonial settlers now live in more than 250 illegal settlements and outposts across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem in violation of international law.

Israeli colonial settlers have recently stepped up their violent attacks against Palestinian citizens and their property in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, under the protection of the Israeli occupation army.
