According to Palestinian medical sources, the woman, Maysar Abdul-Majeed, 60, was in a vehicle driving in the area when the settlers hurled stones at the car, causing an injury to her head.
She was moved to Rafidia Governmental Hospital in Nablus; Maysar is from Sorra village, west of Nablus city.
The attack is the latest among a series of dangerous escalations carried out by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, their homes, lands, and mosques in the Occupied Palestian Territories.
Right-wingers have also attacked the offices and property of Peace Now movement in Israels as settlers blame Israeli leftists and peace groups for any evacuation of illegal settlements.
