Three Israelis were arrested after settlers wounded three Palestinians and set fire to cars near Nablus in the northern West Bank on Thursday, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society and Israeli security forces.

However, footage from the attack showed at least a dozen people taking part in the attack at the al-Junaida dairy factory in the village of Deir Sharaf, and the mayor of nearby Beit Lid said it took Israeli security forces over an hour to disperse the attackers.

In a joint statement, the IDF and Israel Police said two Palestinians were hospitalized in moderate condition as a result of the attack. The Red Crescent reported three men, aged 48, 50 and 65, were hospitalized after being severely beaten.

According to WAFA, the Palestinian Authority’s official news agency, the 65-year-old suffered a broken arm and the other two men suffered bruises to their bodies.

Security camera video showed at least a dozen masked individuals in hoodies outside a shed, hurling stones and attacking a man who was on his knees.

The man took blows to his back and face from at least four people who kicked him and two who beat him with clubs, until he fell over while the attackers fled.
