Militants had entered the Adora Jewish settlement and opened fire on an army patrol, but Israeli soldiers returned fire.
The invaders were armed with firearms, axes, knives and firebombs. A 34-year-old Israeli was injured in the armed confrontation.
The “Shalil al-Rahman Brigade”, a branch of the militant group “Al-Aqsa Brigade”, took responsibility for the attack on the Jewish settlement.
Al-Aqsa Brigades is believed to be close to Fatah, the dominant Palestinian political force in the West Bank.
The “Shalil al-Rahman Brigade” threatened to carry out new attacks on Jewish settlements.
Tensions in the Israeli-occupied West Bank have increased since the war between Israel and the militant group “Hamas” began in the Gaza Strip on October 7. Palestinians complain of increasing violence by Jewish settlers against their villages and olive groves. Israel has stepped up operations against militants in Palestinian towns.
