Eight Palestinians were apprehended by Israeli forces in the West Bank, as tensions escalated between settlers and residents. The Palestinian news agency Wafa reported a series of incidents involving settlers and Israeli authorities. In Ad-Deqaiqa, a village south of Hebron, eight individuals were detained after Israeli settlers attempted to steal livestock and attacked Palestinians.

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.

Near the al-Mughayyir village council, also northeast of Ramallah, settlers used pepper spray, causing suffocation among Palestinians. The settlers' vehicle, an ambulance, was targeted, resulting in material damage. Israeli forces raided the village multiple times in the past 24 hours, searching homes, ransacking possessions, and assaulting Palestinians.
