In the Ramallah Governorate, settlers set fire to a mosque in the village of Jaljilya, spray-painting racist slogans on its walls. Israeli soldiers also raided the town of Silwad, searching and damaging numerous homes.
The city of Qalqilya and the Nazal neighborhood were subjected to extensive operations by soldiers, armored vehicles, and a bulldozer for several hours, with residential buildings being searched.
In the Qalandia camp, north of Jerusalem, soldiers attacked citizens with live ammunition and stun grenades, causing extensive damage after raiding homes. The old and new Askar camps, Fawwar, the town of Qiffin, and Beit Xu’a were also targeted by Israeli forces.
