Zoubi said the drivers fled the scene but that when they returned later to retrieve their belongings, they were attacked by the settlers, some of whom were armed.

"EU humanitarian aid to Palestinians in need will continue as long as needed," tweeted the commissioner for crisis management, Janez Lenarčič...
