Several areas across the West Bank witnessed widespread settler attacks on Thursday, targeting Palestinian residents and their property, leaving two people injured. Meanwhile, Palestinian youths confronted settler assaults in Occupied Jerusalem and Nablus.
In Nablus, a man was injured in the head and face after being assaulted by settlers while working on his land in the village of Urif. The attackers beat him and fired shots into the air.
Settlers also attacked the surroundings of Palestinian homes in the “Al-Markaz” area of Masafer Yatta, south of al-Khalil. They released a herd of camels into the area and assaulted a young girl, leaving her injured.
In the Al-Buqa’a area near the town of Beit Awa, west of Dura in al-Khalil, settlers raised Israeli flags on one of the homes.
In response to the growing settler attacks, young men injured a settler and damaged his vehicle after throwing stones at it near the town of Hizma, northeast of Occupied Jerusalem.
In the town of Beita, south of Nablus, residents confronted settlers who drove into the outskirts of the town, chasing them until they fled the area.
Meanwhile, settlers set up two settlement tents in the Abu Nadhour area, south of Za’tara town, in Bethlehem, as well as on land belonging to the village of Kisan east of the governorate.
Local sources reported that settlers also erected a tent in the “Dhahr al-Mazrab” area south of the village, close to residents’ homes, and raised Israeli flags on it.
In Ramallah, settlers used bulldozers to pave a road next to the home of the Abu Awwad family in the town of Turmus Ayya, east of the city, in an apparent effort to isolate the house from its surroundings and nearby land.
