WEST BANK, (PIC)
Israeli settlers carried out several attacks targeting Palestinians and their property in the Jordan Valley and Salfit areas in the West Bank on Tuesday night.
A group of settlers reportedly assaulted a citizen and a solidarity activist in the Bedouin community of Khirbet al-Farsiya in the northern Jordan Valley.
Armed settlers stormed citizens’ tents in the Naba Ghazal community in Al-Farsiya, and beat the citizen Yazan Daraghmeh and a solidarity activist who was visiting the community.
Residents confronted the settlers who tried to sabotage their tents, amid a state of tension and panic as settlers pointed weapons at the citizens.
For years, Al-Farsiya has been suffering repeated attacks by armed settlers, under the protection of the Israeli occupation army, storming tents of citizens, preventing shepherds from grazing their livestock, trying to steal their sheep, and attacking them while they are in the pastures.
In Salfit, settlers placed Israeli flags on a house in Wadi al-Matwi in Salfit city, and threatened its owner not to remove them.
In another incident, settlers attacked a Palestinian bus while it was close to Al-Asbat Gate in occupied Jerusalem on Tuesday evening.
During February 2025, 7,773 violations were carried out by Israeli occupation forces and settlers against Palestinians and their property in the West Bank, according to The Palestine Information Center (MUTA).
