Israeli forces have been accused of beating and detaining a Palestinian man during a settler attack near Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to Wafa news agency. The incident occurred in Beit Furik, east of Nablus, where Israeli forces and settlers clashed with residents. The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that Israeli forces prevented an ambulance from reaching the 40-year-old Palestinian man, who sustained undisclosed injuries.

The group is coordinating with the International Committee of the Red Cross to follow up on his case. The attack on the Palestinian man came amid a broader incident where settlers attacked homes and smashed surveillance cameras in eastern Beit Furik, while Israeli forces raided the area and assaulted several residents. The settlers also targeted homes in Khirbet al-Himma in the northern Jordan Valley.
