WEST BANK, (PIC)
Jewish settler groups carried out widespread attacks in the occupied West Bank, which included forced displacement, the burning of property, and armed assaults, following a week of violence that has so far resulted in the martyrdom of six Palestinians.
According to field monitoring by the Settlement Observatory, settlers forced about 20 families in the Arab al‑Khawli Bedouin community in the town of Kafr Thulth (Qalqilya) to flee their homes after terrorizing them in an attack on their tents and lands.
The governorates of Nablus and Salfit also witnessed a notable escalation, with armed settler attacks concentrated in the towns of Qusra and Jalud, involving gunfire and the burning of Palestinian vehicles and equipment.
In Khirbet Tana, a small village to the east of Nablus, settlers and Israeli soldiers savagely assaulted Friday preacher Sheikh Salim Malitat and detained worshipers.
Meanwhile, acts of vandalism and one attack on a house by settlers happened on the outskirts of the town of Beita, south of Nablus.
In al-Khalil, settlers set up ambushes for Palestinian vehicles in Wadi Sa’ir, damaging several of them, while simultaneously storming swaths of land near the town of as-Samu, amid efforts to displace the family of Omar al-Jabour in Masafer Yatta.
The settler attacks also extended to the Jordan Valley, where settlers disrupted the educational process in al-Atmawiyah community and carried out provocations in the Arab al-Ka’abneh area.
Settler groups stormed other areas of the West Bank today, with no reported attacks on citizens or property.
