Dozens of Palestinians hurled rocks towards an off-duty IDF soldier and an Israeli civilian in the West Bank, near Duma, the IDF claimed on Wednesday.

The Palestinians at the scene continued to throw rocks at the two even after the off-duty soldier fired warning shots in the air, according to the military.

One of the rock-throwers was wounded when the soldier then fired at the crowd. Following this, the Palestinians at the scene attempted to steal the soldier's weapon.

Rescue Judea and Samaria Without Borders said there were approximately 50 Palestinians who attacked residents of a new Jewish farm, adding that the Palestinians at the scene also set off firecrackers.

Both the off-duty soldier and the civilian were lightly wounded and received medical attention at the scene.

Footage has since surfaced online, accompanied by claims that the off-duty IDF soldier first attacked the crowd of Palestinians.

Previous recent extremist settler attacks, but by Israelis

Late last month, Awdah Hathaleen, a Palestinian activist featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary No Other Land, was killed during clashes with settlers in the village of Umm al-Khair in the West Bank.

He was allegedly killed by Yinon Levi, an extremist who was sanctioned by the Biden administration.

A week earlier, extremist settlers had set fire to and vandalized several cars belonging to Palestinians in the West Bank, spraying the word "vengeance" on nearby structures.
