Settlers set fire to a Palestinian home in the West Bank.

Israeli settlers set fire to a Palestinian home in the village of Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank on Saturday.

Local sources, who were not named, reported that a number of settlers stormed the outskirts of the village and set fire to the home of citizen Basel Sheikh, which is a single-story building, resulting in parts of it being burned.

They added that Israeli army forces stormed the area around the house and fired shots at the citizens present at the scene, with no injuries reported.

According to data from the Palestinian Authority's Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, the Israeli army and settlers committed 766 attacks against citizens, their properties, and their sources of livelihood in the West Bank during October.

The commission added that the attacks ranged from violent physical assaults, arrest campaigns, movement restrictions, intimidation in all its forms, to the burning of homes and vehicles, and gunfire.

These attacks are part of a wide escalation by Israel in the West Bank by the army and settlers that began concurrently with the start of the Israeli genocide in Gaza on October 8, 2023.

These attacks in the West Bank resulted in the deaths of 1,068 Palestinians and injuries to about 10,000 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 20,000 Palestinians, including 1,600 children.

Meanwhile, the genocide that lasted for two years in Gaza, which ended with a ceasefire agreement that came into effect on October 10, 2025, resulted in about 69,000 deaths and more than 170,000 injuries.
