Four Palestinians were wounded Tuesday in a settler attack in the area of the village of Tayasir in the northern West Bank, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.

Footage from the extremist attack showed several men injured, cars on fire and burned-out structures.

Sought for comment, the Israel Defense Forces directed The Times of Israel to the Border Police, from which there was no immediate comment either.

Local Palestinian residents took pictures apparently showing the Jewish extremists who participated.

Amer Dabak, a representative for Tayasir, identified the wounded Palestinians as Anan Daraghmeh, Ammar Daraghmeh, Ahmad Daraghmeh and Uday Saddam Wahdan.

He said Anan, Ammar and Ahmad are all cousins of Abdullah Daraghmeh, 75, who was severely beaten by extremist settlers last week, and whose wife died on Tuesday in what her son told CNN was a heart attack.

Dabak told CNN that the IDF, having arrived in Tayasir in response to the incident, prevented firefighters, ambulances, and locals from reaching the area.

“They prevented residents from returning to their homes but allowed the settlers to do everything at their leisure,” he told the cable network.

Abdullah Daraghmeh and three other residents of Tayasir were attacked last week, and a CNN crew covering the events was subsequently detained and allegedly assaulted by IDF reservists.
