Israeli settlers attack more Palestinian homes in the West Bank

Israeli settlers and the army have continued their attacks on Palestinian towns in the West Bank. In the village of Burqa, settlers attacked local farmers, fired shots at them, and attempted to set their vehicle on fire. In Arrabeh, settlers let their livestock graze on Palestinian-owned olive groves and attacked residents.

In another incident, masked Israeli settler militants surrounded a Palestinian home in Qusra, throwing stones while seven Palestinians were trapped inside, according to witnesses. This was the first major attack since a siege by settlers in the area earlier this month.

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has condemned Israel's escalation in Al-Mughayyir village and called for urgent international measures to protect Palestinians. Israeli forces also opened fire and used tear gas after Palestinian residents confronted violent settlers in al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah.
