NABLUS (Ma'an) -- A man was attacked by a group of settlers on Saturday in the Nablus village of Qusra, a PA official said.

Ghassan Doughlas, who monitors settlement activity in the northern West Bank, told Ma'an that Akram Tayseer Quda, 35, was moderately injured when dozens of settlers from Esh Kodesh outpost raided the village.

He was taken to a Nablus hospital for treatment.

Last Sunday around 30 settlers from the same outpost raided the village, uprooting olive trees and destroying water wells, before injuring 15 villagers.

Qusra lies near several settlements and outposts and is the site of regular assaults by their residents.

Issam Kamal Odeh, 33, died from Israeli army fire in September 2011 after soldiers came to the village after a settler raid.
