Several Israeli settlers were injured on Wednesday in two separate operations in the occupied West Bank.
In the first attack, Israeli media reported that four settlers sustained varying degrees of injuries after gunfire targeted an Israeli vehicle at the Barta'a-Reihan checkpoint, in the northern West Bank near the city of Jenin.
A correspondent for "Israel's" Channel 14 said the attack resulted in injuries, some of them described as serious, and that the Palestinians who carried out the operation withdrew from the scene.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported that, according to Israeli forces, the Palestinians who carried out the Reihan attack opened fire from a vehicle toward the checkpoint, injuring settlers, including two soldiers.
An Israeli helicopter was dispatched to evacuate the wounded from the site of the shooting at the checkpoint.

Simultaneously, "Israel's" Channel 12 reported a car-ramming attack near Siddat al-Fahs in al-Khalil, which resulted in one settler being injured, while the Palestinian who carried out the operation was “neutralized”.
These operations come amid the ongoing Israeli war on the Gaza Strip, which was renewed in March 2025, and as Israeli assaults continue to escalate across various areas of the West Bank.
