In Ramallah, Zionist settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles on Monday evening between the town of Deir Dibwan and the village of Rammun, east of Ramallah, and WAFA reported that settlers attacked the vehicles with stones without any reported injuries.

Saba also said Israeli forces and settlers isolated four Palestinian homes behind an iron gate erected in the town of Tuqu', southeast of Bethlehem, and that Tuqu' Mayor Tayseer Abu Mufreh said the enemy moved an iron gate from the Ghazlan area to a location closer to residents' homes.

The Middle East Monitor also described Israeli occupiers establishing a new illegal settlement outpost in the Jisr al-Khala area near the town of Rummon, east of Ramallah, and said the outpost was set up with a tent and mobile homes on land belonging to Palestinian residents.

In the West Bank, Al Jazeera reported that Israeli settlers launched raids in which houses and cars were set on fire, including a home torched in the village of al-Lubban Asharqiya south of Nablus where Palestinian Civil Defence arrived to extinguish the blaze.

Al Jazeera also said that in Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, Wafa cited security sources that settlers “stormed the outskirts of the village, burned a citizen’s vehicle, and wrote racist slogans on the walls of houses”.

Al Jazeera further reported that in Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem, mayor Taysir Abu Mufreh told Wafa that Israeli forces fired “tear gas and sound bombs” at a group of worshippers leaving a local mosque and locked a number of them inside.

Separately, the Middle East Monitor said the Palestine Red Crescent Society reported three Palestinians were injured after occupiers assaulted them near Halhul north of Hebron, and that its crews treated three people wounded and transferred them to a hospital.

The Middle East Monitor added that the official Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said Israeli forces and occupiers carried out 1,637 attacks across the West Bank in April, including 540 carried out by occupiers.

WAFA said colonists attacked the Dar Abu Faza’a community east of Al-Taybeh town, east of Ramallah, on Tuesday evening, and that the Al-Baydar Human Rights Organization said the attack was part of ongoing violations targeting Palestinian residential gatherings in the area.

WAFA Agency

WAFA’s account placed the incident in Ramallah and identified the community as Dar Abu Faza’a, linking the attack to a broader pattern of violations described by Al-Baydar.

The Middle East Monitor warned that attempts to seize the Jisr al-Khala area aim to forcibly displace Palestinians, and it said the outpost could become a launch point for “terror attacks” against residents in the area.

The same Middle East Monitor report said the commission warned that occupiers attempted to establish 21 new illegal settlement outposts during the month, most of them on agricultural and pastoral sites.

In parallel, Saba reported that Israeli forces and settlers escalated arbitrary measures against Tuqu', including closing some of its entrances with earth mounds, and it said the iron gate relocations prevented residents from accessing their lands and shepherds from reaching grazing lands.
