Local sources reported that settlers from the Susya settlement set fire to the vehicle of Palestinian Yousef Musa Shanaran after attacking his home in the Wadi al-Rakhim community, adjacent to the village of Susya in the Masafer Yatta area, south of Hebron. The attack resulted in the vehicle being completely burned and the windows of the home being shattered.
Other settlers in Khirbet Umm al-Khair uprooted several olive trees and released their livestock near Palestinian homes.
In the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, settlers, under the protection of occupation forces, stormed the outskirts of the village of al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, specifically the areas of Wadi Qatuniya, al-Khalayel, and the eastern plain, where they grazed their sheep on citizens' lands as part of what is known as the "pastoral colonialism" policy to seize land, according to what was reported by the Palestinian News Agency "Wafa."
Armed settlers also stormed the Shallal al-Auja Bedouin community north of Jericho, grazing their sheep among Palestinian homes in an attempt to provoke them. This is part of a policy aimed at displacing Bedouins from their lands, according to Hassan Malihat, general supervisor of the Al-Baydar human rights organization. He noted a recent increase in the frequency of these incursions.
In Nablus, Israeli occupation forces arrested three citizens at dawn today after raiding their homes in various parts of the city, the Ein al-Ain refugee camp, and the village of Kafr Qallil.
These attacks come amid a surge in settler attacks in the West Bank. During September, settlers and Israeli occupation forces carried out 2,215 attacks in the West Bank, including 490 by settlers, according to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission.
The attacks ranged from "armed attacks on Palestinian villages, imposing facts on the ground, field executions, vandalizing and bulldozing land, and uprooting trees." They also included "seizing Palestinian property, implementing closures, and erecting checkpoints that sever Palestinian geography."
In parallel with the war of extermination in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, killed at least 1,048 Palestinians, injured approximately 10,300, and arrested more than 19,000, including 400 children, according to official Palestinian data.
Since October 7, 2023, Israel, with American support, has been committing genocide in Gaza, leaving 66,288 martyrs and 169,165 wounded, most of them children and women, and a famine that has claimed the lives of 455 Palestinians, including 151 children.
