The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that 27-year-old Omar Qateen died from a bullet wound in the chest, though it was not immediately clear whether this came from the army or settlers. 

Three others were injured by bullet wounds to their lower bodies. 

Local sources reported that there were other injuries as a result of settlers throwing stones at houses. 

Israeli settlers set ablaze some 30 houses and 60 vehicles. Some were completely burned down, while others were only partially damaged.
