In Nablus, Israeli occupation forces stormed Route 10 and Balata refugee camp east of the city, deploying to several neighborhoods amid military reinforcements, according to Ahmad Dhuqan, head of the Balata camp's popular services committee. Israeli occupation forces also raided the town of Beit Ummar and raided a home in Adh Dhahiriya in the city of Hebron.
These raids came after residents of the village of At-Tuwana in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron, confronted settlers' attempts to establish a settlement outpost on one of the village's hills. Israeli occupation forces stormed the village, raided several homes, and arrested several citizens, amid physical assaults that included activist Nasser Al-Adra, who was taken to the hospital with wounds and bruises.
Separately, the Israeli occupation army declared a Palestinian Bedouin community west of Ramallah a "closed military zone" on Sunday evening following threats and attempts to expel residents. The army prevented protesters from reaching the community, but allowed settlers from a nearby outpost to remain.
As part of the settlement expansion, the Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights announced that settlers had established a new outpost in the village of Shalal al-Auja, north of Jericho, and that they had begun bulldozing and installing mobile homes in the town of Atara, north of Ramallah, under heavy protection from occupation forces, who prevented Palestinians from approaching or confronting them.
In the northern Jordan Valley, armed settlers forced shepherds to leave the Hamma pastures and chased them to their tents, while crews from the so-called "Settlement Council" stormed the al-Miteh area in the al-Maleh community and began filming Palestinian homes amid near-daily attacks.
Settlers set up mobile homes while the occupation prevents agriculture.
On Sunday evening, settlers erected mobile homes on lands in the town of Tekoa, southeast of Bethlehem, on lands belonging to the Al-Sabah family adjacent to the Tekoa settlement, according to what was reported by the Palestinian News Agency, WAFA.
