Eyewitness accounts told Al Jazeera that at least 40 Israeli armored vehicles stormed the village and surrounded a house for nearly two hours before firing at least two rockets and opening heavy fire.
Following the attack, the youth of the village confronted Israeli soldiers, protesting and throwing rocks which lead to the injury of four Palestinians.
