The Israeli ​military ​said it was looking into ⁠the reports.

The Palestinian Health Ministry also ​said one Palestinian was killed in ​an attack by settlers overnight.

Israeli settlers in the West Bank are taking advantage of curbs on movement imposed during the U.S.-Israeli ‌war on Iran to attack Palestinians, with military roadblocks preventing ambulances ​from reaching ​victims quickly, ⁠rights groups and medics say.

Settlers have killed at least five Palestinians in the West Bank ​since the Iran war began on February 28, according to the Palestinian health ministry.
