IP- A group of settlers, protected by the Israeli forces, opened live fire on Palestinians and their properties near Nablus and Salfit City on Friday, sparking outrage in Palestinian communities in Occupied West Bank.

Iran Press/Middle East: Israeli settlers have carried out a series of assaults against Palestinians and their properties across the occupied West Bank.

According to the state news agency WAFA, a group of settlers, protected by the Israeli forces, threw rocks at Palestinian cars near the village of Ein al Beida in the occupied West Bank late on Thursday.

A similar incident was also reported in western Tulkarem city, north of the West Bank, causing damage to many Palestinian cars.

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Health Ministry said an injured infant survived an attack by settlers when the ambulance that was transporting him to the hospital came under assault.

Other attacks by settlers were also reported in areas near Nablus City and Salfit City, north of the occupied West Bank, where settlers opened live fire on Palestinians and their properties.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces killed two Palestinians on Friday in the occupied West Bank, a day after the United Nations urged a "meaningful political process" to stem renewed violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Tensions have been running high across the occupied West Bank in recent months amid repeated Israeli raids into Palestinian towns.

According to the Israeli and Palestinian officials, a firefight erupted on Friday during the Israeli military raid on the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

The Palestinian health ministry announced "two martyrs and three injured as a result of the occupation (Israeli) aggression on Nablus." 

On Monday, Israeli forces launched their largest raid in Jenin in more than 20 years, including on its refugee camp, killing 12 Palestinians, including five children, according to a statement by the Palestinian Health Ministry.

According to the Health Ministry, over 192 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since the start of this year.
