Overnight attacks by Israeli settlers spread across Palestinian territory in the West Bank and Jerusalem, intensifying during the Jewish holidays of Sukkot. Approximately 150 settlers rioted in Jalud, a Northern West Bank village, after Israeli forces attempted to return a displaced Palestinian family, Jalud's Tubasi family, to their home.
