Two settlers were arrested by the Shin Bet and police after attacking Palestinians with an ax and stones in Huwara on Purim, the Shin Bet and police announced on Thursday.
During the violence on Purim, a group of Israelis entered Huwara and began attacking Palestinians. In one instance, the group noticed a Palestinian family in a car outside a shop and began throwing stones at the car and hit one of the occupants of the vehicle with an ax.
At least five Palestinians were injured in the riots on Purim, including one who was hit in the head by a stone.
Israeli residents from the area reported at the time that about 50 Palestinians in Huwara threw stones at Israeli vehicles driving in Huwara, damaging at least four vehicles. No injuries were reported.
According to the Israeli residents, the settlers only came to the scene after the rocks were thrown.
According to Palestinian reports, settlers shot at a vehicle a Palestinian family was driving in the town as well. Video reportedly from the scene showed a bullet hole in the windshield and another part of the windshield smashed.
Surveillance camera footage from Huwara showed Palestinians running into a shop before Israelis ran towards the shop throwing rocks at the shop and at vehicles parked outside. The video showed the settlers surrounding a vehicle with Palestinians inside, smashing some of the windows and attempting to break in before the driver reversed and drove away.
