Israeli flags become the latest weapon of settlers in West Bank domination

Israel's visual colonisation aims to make Palestinians feel like guests in their own homeland.

Israeli settlers intensified their raids and provocations throughout the West Bank overnight, with heavy support from Israeli forces, according to Palestinian media reports. The attacks unfolded from Sunday morning into the following day. In Bethlehem, dozens of settlers targeted the popular Solomon’s Pools tourist area, while Israeli forces were seen in large numbers guarding the location.

In Ramallah, settlers amassed near a Palestinian school titled al-Mughayyir as the new academic year commenced. This caused apprehension and heightened tension among both students and educators. Meanwhile, in Nablus, settlers hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles and obstructed roads. In Hebron, settlers barred residents and shepherds from accessing their lands and tending to their livestock.

Furthermore, Israeli forces and settlers have persistently encircled three homes in Ras al-Ain, located south of Nablus. This siege has been ongoing for the 29th consecutive day, effectively barring the families residing within from entering or exiting their homes.
