Burning, beating, and abuse.. a wave of attacks by the occupation army and settlers in the West Bank and Jerusalem

Attacks by Israeli occupation forces continue in the West Bank and occupied Jerusalem, including raiding homes and villages and firing sound bombs, while Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians with stones north of Jerusalem. Sources reported that occupation forces raided a house during an incursion into the village of Madama, south of Nablus, in the northern West Bank. Occupation forces also stormed the village of Al-Mughayyir, in the Ramallah district in the central West Bank, for the second time in hours. Sources reported that occupation forces fired sound and gas bombs, and arrested a citizen, a child, and a young woman, before withdrawing from the village. In the Huwara area of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, occupation forces arrested two Palestinian brothers. Sources reported that settlers raised Israeli flags inside Palestinian lands in the area, which prompted Palestinians to protest, coinciding with the presence of the occupation army in the area to protect the settlers. Occupation forces arrested two Palestinians in the Khallet al-Natsha area, in the Hebron city district in the southern West Bank, following an attack carried out by settlers on the area. Eyewitnesses said that a number of settlers attacked citizens' homes, under the protection of Israeli army forces, and carried out acts of sabotage.

Two Palestinians injured and north of Jerusalem, two Palestinians were injured on Friday evening, after Israeli settlers attacked them with stones. The Jerusalem Governorate said in a statement that settlers attacked two Palestinians in the Ma'azi Jaba' gathering north of the city, which resulted in them sustaining varying injuries. The governorate added that the attacking settlers set fire to one of the homes in the gathering before residents were able to extinguish it, and explained that the attack comes within a series of repeated attacks on the gathering by settlers, as part of attempts to restrict aimed at forcing residents to forcibly leave.

Since the start of the war of extermination on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, which lasted two years, the Israeli army and settlers have intensified their attacks in the West Bank, including killing, demolition, displacement, and settlement expansion. These attacks have resulted in the martyrdom of at least 1,110 Palestinians, the injury of more than 11,500 others, in addition to the arrest of more than 21,000 Palestinians, according to official data.
