According to Palestinian officials, Jewish settlers stormed several villages in the occupied West Bank, smashing homes and cars and assaulting at least two people.
The attacks on Friday came just one day after Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli man in a shooting ambush in the territory.
''The death of settler Yehuda Dimentman, who was killed late Thursday when gunmen opened fire on his car near an illegal settlement outpost in the occupied West Bank, threatened to rekindle tensions between Palestinian residents and Israeli settlers.

On Thursday, two other passengers in Dimentman's vehicle were lightly injured.
According to Ghassan Daghlas, a Palestinian Authority official who monitors settlement activity, groups of settlers entered several Palestinian villages near the northern city of Nablus early Friday, smashing up cars and homes. Two Palestinians were injured and taken to the hospital.
