<div class="field field-field-text"><p>A group of Israeli settlers torched a Palestinian vehicle, attacked residents and tried to seize a child north of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.</p>
<p>A Palestinian man said settlers approached his car, set it on fire and then moved to attack him.</p>
<p>Two homes were also broken into, with women and children assaulted and an attempt made to take a child away, according to media activist Mohammed Awad.</p>
<p>Residents intervened before the settlers could do so.</p>
<p>In a separate incident, Israeli troops swept through a number of villages and towns in the western Jenin area in the occupied West Bank, detaining residents and compelling shopkeepers to shutter their premises.</p>
<p>Also in Raba village, soldiers searched houses and took several people into custody before moving on to a neighbouring village where businesses were ordered to close.</p>
