The Palestinian News Agency, WAFA, reported that occupation forces arrested nine Palestinians from Balata refugee camp, the Masaken al-Sha'abi area east of Nablus, and the town of Beita in the south, after raiding several neighborhoods in the eastern part of the city and Balata refugee camp, raiding and searching several homes, and vandalizing their contents.
In the southern West Bank, Israeli forces arrested a young man in the Dheisheh refugee camp, south of Bethlehem, after raiding and searching his family's home, according to the WAFA news agency. The agency added that clashes erupted in the al-Salam neighborhood, where occupation forces fired tear gas and sound bombs, but no injuries were reported.
In the Hebron governorate, Israeli occupation forces arrested four Palestinians, including a 17-year-old boy, after raiding and searching their homes, according to WAFA. In the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron, Palestinian activist Nasr al-Nawajaa was injured on Saturday when settlers attacked the Susya residential complex, throwing stones at homes, according to eyewitnesses who spoke to Anadolu Agency.
The Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights reported that settlers have begun establishing a new settlement outpost in the plain of Turmus Ayya village, northeast of Ramallah, under the protection of the occupation army. Land leveling and tents continue to be erected to impose a fait accompli on the ground.
Settlers also attacked the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, assaulting a family without causing any injuries. Meanwhile, the army continues to close the village's only western entrance, obstructing movement in and out. In the northern West Bank, settlers raided a Palestinian tent east of the city of Tubas, according to WAFA.
According to the Palestinian Commission Against the Wall and Settlements, the West Bank witnessed approximately 341 settler attacks in April, including armed assaults, vandalism, uprooting of trees, and seizure of Palestinian property.
In occupied Jerusalem, dozens of settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque from the Mughrabi Gate on Sunday, in successive groups under the protection of Israeli occupation police. They performed Talmudic rituals and conducted provocative tours of the mosque's courtyards.
In parallel with the genocidal war in Gaza, the Israeli occupation army and settlers have escalated their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the deaths of more than 962 Palestinians, the injury of nearly 7,000 others, and the arrest of more than 17,000 Palestinians, according to Palestinian data.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel has continued its widespread war of extermination against the Palestinians of the Gaza Strip, including killing, destruction, starvation, and forced displacement, ignoring international calls and orders from the International Court of Justice to halt it.
The US-backed war has left more than 172,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.
