West Bank Sees Surge in Israeli Settler and Military Attacks on Palestinians
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the occupied West Bank has witnessed a fresh surge in raids by Israeli forces and violent attacks by settlers against Palestinians, their agricultural lands, and properties in recent hours, as reported by Palestinian sources and relayed by the Mehr News Agency.
Local sources indicated that armed settlers attacked Palestinians harvesting olives in the ‘Wadi Saif’ area of the town of Beit Fajr, south of Bethlehem. The assault resulted in five Palestinians sustaining injuries, and significant damage was inflicted on several parked vehicles.
In the northern West Bank, specifically in Nablus, occupation soldiers detained a young Palestinian man following an incursion and attacks by settlers on the outskirts of Hawara town, south of Nablus. Additionally, provocative and destructive actions by occupation forces in the plains of Salem village, east of Nablus, led to a fire breaking out in the area’s agricultural lands.
Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers raided the town of Al-Zababdeh, located south of Jenin, intensifying their presence and activities in the region.
In a separate development in the central West Bank, extremist settlers carried out a terrorist act by firing at a Palestinian vehicle at the entrance to the village of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah.
