<div id="divImageDesc">Israeli settlers from the Yitzhar settlement attack Palestinians in the nearby village of Asira al-Qibiliya in the northern West Bank on September 20, 2011.</div>
<div id="divLead">Several Palestinians have been injured by Israeli forces and in clashes with Israeli settlers who had attacked their village in the northern West Bank.</div>
<p>A mob of about 100 armed Israeli settlers on Tuesday attacked the village of Asira al-Qibiliya, south of Nablus, AFP reported.</p>
<p>Palestinians responded to the assailants, reportedly from the nearby settlement of Yitzhar, by throwing stones.</p>
<p>Israeli forces soon intervened and fired rubber bullets and tear gas to end the clashes.</p>
<p>Several Palestinian villagers were injured in the clashes while a journalist from the Palestinian news agency WAFA who was beaten by settlers.</p>
<p>A 14-year-old Palestinian boy was taken to hospital after being hit by a tear-gas canister. A group of activists confirmed the report as part of their newly launched campaign of monitoring settler attacks, called &#8220;Eyes of Resistance.”</p>
<p>The attack was the latest instance of Israeli settlers&#8217; violence against Palestinians, especially the residents of Asira al-Qibiliya, who have been repeatedly assaulted by Israelis in the past years.</p>
<p>In recent weeks, at least three mosques, a university building, several cars and farmlands have been vandalized in a series of attacks by Israeli settlers.</p>
<p>Tel Aviv has criticized the attacks, but the Palestinians accuse the Israeli military and the police personnel of deliberately failing to track down and to prosecute those behind the attacks.</p>
<p>The Palestinian Authority on Tuesday issued a statement following the attack, and condemned &#8220;a menacing trend of settler violence which the Israeli authorities are doing nothing to prevent.”</p>
<p>&#8220;It is not credible that the Israeli army &#8212; one of the most formidable military organizations in the world &#8212; cannot apply the rule of law to its own citizens,” it argued.</p>
