Three Palestinians were killed, several others were wounded, and an IDF soldier was lightly wounded in clashes with Jewish West Bank residents and Border Police officers outside of Ramallah, the IDF confirmed Wednesday.
Approximately 30 Jewish individuals entered the village of Maghayer Al-Dir and set fire to Palestinian-owned buildings and vehicles and sprayed graffiti on walls, security sources told Army Radio.
Five Israelis were arrested during the incident and transferred to Israeli police custody, according to the IDF.
Palestinians in the village attempted to confront the Jewish rioters and threw stones at them.
The Israeli rioters threw stones back, at which point Border Police officers intervened by firing at the Arab residents, killing three and wounding seven others, according to Palestinian state-run WAFA.
The stone-throwing wounded the IDF soldier, and he was treated on-site, the IDF said.
Jewish rioters evacuated
The security forces evacuated all of the Jewish rioters who had entered the village.
This is a developing story.
