Israeli military raids and settler violence persist in the occupied West Bank. Last night and into Sunday, Wafa news agency reported that Israeli forces conducted raids in central Tulkarm, firing live ammunition and stun grenades at residents. As a result, five Palestinians were detained.

In Tubas, teams from the Palestine Red Crescent treated 11 people, including four children, who experienced tear gas inhalation during an Israeli raid. In nearby Tammun, settlers attacked a 15-year-old Palestinian boy, who was severely beaten and subsequently treated by PRCS crews.

On Sunday morning, Israeli forces blocked the only entrance to Al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, preventing residents from entering or exiting. Commuters were harassed and interrogated by Israeli soldiers, who also used tear gas on vehicles attempting to enter or leave the village.

In Nablus, Israeli soldiers arrested a Palestinian individual and seized two vehicles after storming Beita, Tal, and Beit Dajan. East of Bethlehem, settlers uprooted olive and grape plantations from Palestinian lands in the village of al-Maniya. Meanwhile, the Israeli settler siege on Qusra, south of Nablus, has endured for its 15th consecutive day. Settlers continue to surround three homes in the Ras al-Ain area, while Israeli soldiers block road access, preventing water deliveries to the besieged families.
