In separate incidents, TRT World reported that illegal settlers torched olive groves between the towns of Turmus Ayya and Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah, and that Israeli forces raided the area and provided protection for the illegal settlers after local residents confronted them and forced them to withdraw.

TRT World also said the forces prevented civil defence crews from reaching the scene to extinguish the fire, while settlers grazed herds of camels and sheep on Palestinian farmland east of the villages of Taybeh and Rammun near Ramallah, causing extensive damage to crops and financial losses to Palestinian farmers.

Al Jazeera reported that Israeli settlers torched Palestinian homes in Khirbet Abu Falah, a village near Ramallah, causing extensive damage to houses, vehicles and farmland.

Al Jazeera said Khirbet Abu Falah has been frequently targeted by settler attacks, with over 30 incidents reported since late March.

In a separate report, Anadolu Ajansı said Palestine welcomed a United Nations report highlighting Israeli policies and violations aimed at altering the demographic and geographic structure of the occupied Palestinian territories.

Anadolu Ajansı quoted the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs saying that "the crimes and attacks carried out by Israeli settlers seizing Palestinian lands continue, in most cases under the protection of the Israeli occupation forces and within a policy of impunity".

Anadolu Ajansı said the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights spokesperson Thameen Al-Kheetan presented a new report on March 17 and noted that the expansion of land confiscated by Israel in the West Bank has led to mass displacement.

Anadolu Ajansı reported that Al-Kheetan said more than 36,000 Palestinians were displaced between October 31, 2024 and October 31, 2025.

Anadolu Ajansı also stated that the report documents 1,732 incidents of violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank causing loss of life or property damage, including acts of harassment, intimidation as well as the destruction of homes and agricultural lands.

In its appeal to the international community, Anadolu Ajansı said the Palestinian side called for "urgent action to ensure accountability of the occupying power, Israel, and to immediately end all colonization activities".
