On Tuesday morning, the West Bank experienced a significant escalation of violence, marked by settler attacks on Palestinian property and farmers, alongside widespread Israeli military incursions and arrests. In the village of Beit Anan, northwest of Jerusalem, several Palestinians suffered from gas and sound grenade inhalation as Israeli forces fired on farmers attempting to reach their olive groves. Local sources reported that settlers, protected by the Israeli military, attacked the farmers and prevented them from harvesting olives. In the southern Hebron governorate, settlers set fire to two unfinished homes in the Wadi al-Rakhim area and scrawled racist graffiti on them. In Majdal Bani Fadil village, south of Nablus, settlers entered the northern part of the village and burned two Palestinian vehicles before fleeing. These attacks are part of ongoing targeting of Palestinian property across the West Bank, including the burning of homes and vehicles and assaults on farmers and their land. The Israeli army also arrested Al Jazeera correspondent Montaser Nassar after raiding his home in Dura, south of Hebron. Video footage showed Nassar, blindfolded and handcuffed, being led from his home. This arrest followed a similar raid and detention of Al-Araby Al-Jadeed correspondent Samer Khweireh in Nablus the previous day. In a related development, Israeli forces arrested 21 Palestinians from Dura after searching their homes. Additionally, a family in the village of Al-Burj, south of Hebron, was forced to evacuate their home, which was then converted into a military outpost. These events are part of a broader pattern of military raids and actions in various parts of the West Bank, accompanied by arrests, home invasions, and attacks on property and agricultural land.
