Israeli settlers torched Palestinian homes and cars in the village of Qusra, south of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus, on Sunday, according to local sources and witnesses.
The attack came hours after Israeli forces killed five Palestinians, including a 16-year-old boy, during a raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem.
Israeli forces have been conducting raids in the occupied West Bank for months, killing dozens of Palestinians. The raids have escalated in recent weeks, following a series of deadly attacks against Israelis.
The Palestinian Authority has condemned the raids and called on the international community to intervene to stop the violence.
The Israeli government has defended the raids, saying they are necessary to prevent further attacks against Israelis.
In other news, Israelis continued to protest on Thursday evening in Tel Aviv, demanding the Israeli government to make a prisoner swap deal with Hamas, before moving to demonstrate at the defense ministry headquarters.
The protesters are demanding the release of Israeli soldiers and civilians held captive by Hamas in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
Hamas has said it is willing to negotiate a prisoner swap, but Israel has so far refused to meet Hamas's demands.
