Settlers attacked the town of Surif, northwest of Hebron, tonight, assaulting residents and setting fire to agricultural land.

Security sources said that a number of settlers attacked residents in the Batwat area, near the Beit Ein settlement, which was built on Palestinian land.

The sources added that the settlers carried out a series of attacks against the residents and set fire to agricultural lands.

Later, the occupation forces stormed the town and chased the citizens who were trying to repel the settlers' attack, leaving two of them with bruises.
