The attackers targeted the Huwara municipal building and targeted multiple Palestinian homes, according to the local sources.
During the raid, settlers stole a car, a bicycle, and approximately 35 livestock animals belonging to local residents.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA stated that the wounded included a member of the Huwara municipal council who sustained a shrapnel wound to the leg.

Huwara Municipality public relations officer Rana Abu Haniyeh said settlers directly attacked the municipal building and several houses in the town.
The occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has seen a surge in Israeli military operations, including raids, arrests, shootings, and excessive use of force, alongside rising attacks by Israeli occupiers on Palestinians and their property.
Attacks by the Israeli army and occupiers have killed at least 1,155 Palestinians, wounded about 11,750, and led to the arrest of nearly 22,000 since October 2023, according to official Palestinian figures.
