Immediately after the Israeli forces withdrew, the residents of al-Mughayyir village went out to survey the extent of the destruction caused by the aggression, particularly the uprooting of hundreds of trees from the village plains. Some residents began replanting olive trees that had been removed by Israeli bulldozers in the eastern area.
During the days of the incursion, the forces carried out extensive bulldozing of agricultural land, raided dozens of homes, and vandalized their contents. Meanwhile, the head of the village council, Amin Abu Aliya, and a number of residents were arrested after the army demanded he surrender.
Despite the withdrawal, Israeli military vehicles and bulldozers in the vicinity of the village continue to pave a new settlement road and raze large areas of land for the benefit of the colonial project, according to the Palestinian News Agency, WAFA.
In a related development, the Israeli occupation forces launched a campaign of raids in various areas of the occupied West Bank at dawn on Sunday, during which nine Palestinians were arrested and a young man was severely beaten.

In continuation of the occupation's operations in the West Bank, Israeli forces stormed the towns of Turmus Ayya and Sinjil, northeast of Ramallah, on Sunday. Their military vehicles patrolled the towns' streets, but no arrests or home raids were reported, according to the WAFA news agency.

In a related development, Israeli settlers launched a series of attacks on Palestinians and their property across the West Bank on Sunday morning. These attacks included raiding a residential area, bulldozing land, and preventing farmers from accessing their lands.
