West Bank Sees New Wave of Israeli Settlers Violence Across Multiple Governorates

Extremist Israeli settlers carried out a series of new attacks across the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, targeting areas in the governorates of Jenin, Nablus, and Jerusalem.

According to local sources, settlers stormed land near a Palestinian farm in the town of Raba, south of Jenin, and attempted to assault residents. In a separate incident, a group of settlers attacked Palestinian agricultural lands near the town of Mikhmas, northeast of occupied East Jerusalem. Concurrently, other settlers vandalized Palestinian vehicles near the village of Madama, south of Nablus.

Following the attack in Madama, Israeli occupation forces raided and ransacked several homes in the village.

These events follow similar attacks earlier in the week. On Tuesday, armed settlers seized an agricultural tractor from a Palestinian farmer in the northern Jordan Valley. Also on Tuesday, settlers grazed their livestock near Palestinian homes in the village of Kisan, east of Bethlehem.
