Settlers Attack Palestinian Villages in Ramallah, Raid Kifl Haris

Israeli settlers launched a series of attacks on Palestinian property and homes in various areas of the occupied West Bank early Monday, with a focus on the Ramallah governorate. The assaults included burning vehicles and agricultural equipment, and the scrawling of racist and inciting slogans. In the village of Deir Abu Mashal, northwest of Ramallah, settlers set fire to Palestinian vehicles and defaced property with racist graffiti. Settlers also attacked the village of Ras Karkar, west of Ramallah, burning a tractor and writing slogans on property. In the Salfit governorate, dozens of settlers, under heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces, raided the town of Kifl Haris. Local sources reported that settlers performed Talmudic rituals in the town center amid a heavy Israeli military presence. These attacks occur amid a rise in settler violence across the West Bank, which includes assaults on Palestinians, burning homes and vehicles, uprooting trees, and seizing land. This escalation takes place alongside ongoing Israeli military measures and raids that restrict Palestinian movement.
