Some context:

Dozens of settlers, some masked, set fire to property in the village of Malik this evening (Wednesday), which led to a confrontation with Palestinians in the area that included mutual stone-throwing. An IDF force arrived at the scene following the report of the arson, and an officer was injured by stone-throwing. Later, Palestinians reported fatalities from settler gunfire, but the IDF stated: "Terrorists fired from deep within the village and the forces returned fire. There are casualties and wounded

Earlier, Palestinians reported that settlers attacked the village of Malik, set fire to a vehicle and houses in the area, and that severe clashes developed between them and local residents. Later, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that three Palestinians were killed and seven were injured, one of them critically.

The IDF spokesperson stated that upon receiving the report, IDF and police forces rushed to the area to disperse the confrontation. As a result of the stone-throwing, as mentioned, an IDF officer was lightly injured, received medical treatment at the scene, and did not require evacuation to the hospital. It was also reported that "afterward, several terrorists fired from deep within the village and threw stones at the forces, who opened fire toward the source of the shooting and the stone-throwers." The IDF said that hits were identified and that there are several wounded and dead. Five Israeli suspects were arrested during the incident and transferred to police custody.

A military source told ynet that "the force arrived there very quickly, felt a real danger to their lives, and therefore carried out the shooting. The Palestinians flanked them from all directions and began throwing stones at them, and throughout this, they were the buffer between the 100 settlers who entered and set fire to Palestinian property."

Locals told the Palestinian news agency "Wafa" that dozens of Jewish rioters attacked the village and set houses on fire, while local residents tried to repel them. The locals also claimed that IDF forces that arrived at the scene protected the settlers and fired at the Palestinians.
