Widespread settler attacks reported across West Bank
Zionist settlers carried out a series of attacks across the occupied West Bank over the past 24 hours, targeting Palestinians, their property, agricultural lands, and continuing incursions into the Aqsa Mosque compound.
In the Ramallah area, settlers entered an archaeological site on land belonging to the town of Atara, while others stopped and harassed Palestinian vehicles along the Wadi al-Shaer road between Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya and Salfit.
Settlers also vandalized crops and damaged Palestinian farmland in the Gharaba area northwest of Sinjil.
In the Nablus governorate, settlers broke into a home in the town of Beit Iba, northwest of the city, removed its gate, and threatened the homeowner. Meanwhile, new settler incursions into Aqsa Mosque saw participants perform Talmudic rituals, including what is known as “epic prostration,” inside the compound.
In the southern West Bank, settlers cut down centuries-old carob trees in Khirbet Hamsa south of al-Khalil and contaminated water wells in the Hamroush area east of Sa’ir.
In the northern Jordan Valley, settlers continued efforts to seize Palestinian land by fencing off areas and conducting provocative tours in the Yarza area east of Tubas.
Elsewhere, settlers set fire to a home in the village of Burqa east of Ramallah, in the latest episode of escalating attacks targeting Palestinians and their property across the West Bank.
The incidents prompted renewed Palestinian calls for intensified resistance and confrontation against Zionist regime’s forces and settlers throughout the occupied West Bank.
