The villagers' water supply was disrupted by settlers, leaving around 700 residents without water. In Khallet al-Hummus, colonists targeted a family's home and foreign solidarity activists. Thirty guava trees belonging to a local farmer were cut down in Khirbet Firasin near Ya bad. Israeli settlers, with the protection of Israeli forces, assaulted a village northeast of Ramallah and raided a commercial shop.
