Israeli settlers assaulted Palestinians and trespassed onto their properties in the occupied West Bank, blocking farmers from herding their cattle near "Arab al-Mlayhat" to the northwest of Areeha on Wednesday. 

The General Supervisor of the al-Baydar Organization, which defends Bedouin rights in the region, Hassan Mlayhat, said that a number of settlers armed with rifles surrounded herders in the aforementioned area and denied them access to their land at gunpoint. 

Mlayhat added that the Israeli settlers expelled Palestinian herders from the area and besieged them inside the "Arab al-Mlayhat" community. 

Between the towns of Barqah and Beit Amrin, to the northwest of Nablus, Israeli settlers set ablaze a vehicle belonging to Abed al-Jabbar Sadeq Abdeh after physically assaulting him.

Israeli occupation forces abduct 30 Palestinians in the West Bank

In parallel, Israeli occupation forces detained 30 Palestinian citizens from the West Bank from Tuesday evening to Wednesday morning, a joint statement from the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission and the Palestinian Prisoners Society revealed. 

This has raised the total number of Palestinians detained by occupation forces since October 7 in the occupied West Bank to 7,700. 

In detail, 247 women, 501 children, and at least 61 journalists were detained from the West Bank in the same period. In the latest update, Palestinian organizations concerned with the affairs of detainees said that one woman, a child, and an ex-detainee were added to the latest tally. 

The detentions were concentrated in al-Khalil while others were abducted in Areeha, Tulkarm, Nablus, Ramallah, and al-Quds.

Settler violence and systematic brutal Israeli measures executed by occupation forces clearly intensified since October 7, as Israeli decision-makers seek to silence Palestinians in occupied territories and sideline them from supporting fellow citizens in the Gaza Strip, which has seen an unprecedented genocidal month for more than 160 days.
