Various areas of the West Bank are witnessing repeated incursions by occupation forces, usually involving home raids and arrests of citizens.

This coincided with assaults by settlers in various areas of the West Bank.

Settlers vandalized vehicles during an attack on the "Hammamat Al-Malih" area in the northern Jordan Valley.

Meanwhile, others attacked the homes of residents in the Al-Amawy gathering near the village of Ain Shibli northeast of Nablus.

Settlers seized two buildings in the Jabal Jalis area east of Hebron late Thursday evening.

This was preceded by settlers disguised as Israeli occupation forces arresting one citizen and detaining others, torturing them in Masafer Yatta south of Hebron.

Activist Osama Makhamra stated that a group of armed settlers disguised as occupation forces attacked residents in Khirbet Sada Th'la in Masafer Yatta, detaining many and assaulting them before arresting citizen Muhammad Hamad Makhamra.

Settlers attempted to steal the livestock of residents in Maghayir Al-‘Obeed, Asfi, and Wadi Al-Jawaya after attacking residents' homes and chasing shepherds in those areas.

In Khirbet Al-Taban, another group of settlers broke several fruit-bearing olive trees belonging to citizen Nasir Abu Obeid after they released their livestock in residents' fields and around their homes, damaging their agricultural crops.
