Settlers attacked the village of Barqa east of Ramallah on Saturday and attempted to set a house on fire, according to Shehab Wire. Activist Mahmoud Barakat told the Palestinian news agency Wafa that the settlers targeted the village's outskirts, hurling stones at a home and setting fire to a veranda.
The attack was one of several incidents of settler violence reported in the occupied West Bank in recent weeks.
