Settler attacks in Burqa, Ramallah 

In a related context, this Saturday evening, settlers launched an attack on the homes and vehicles of citizens in Burqa, situated east of the city of Ramallah.

A group of settlers stormed the outskirts of the village, attacked Palestinian homes and vehicles, burned several vehicles, and caused material damage. The Palestinian residents responded to the settlers’ attack and prevented them from advancing toward the center of the village, according to what local Palestinian media revealed.

This evening, Israeli occupation army forces closed the road between the cities of Ramallah and Nablus, near the eastern village of Luban. There was a heavy deployment of settlers on the main road, blocking Palestinian vehicles and preventing them from passing through.

The occupation forces arrested three brothers during their incursion into the town of Beita, south of Nablus in the West Bank.

This evening, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for targeting the "Karmei Tzur" settlement with machine guns.

Early this morning, Israeli occupation forces raided the West Bank city of Ramallah and murdered a young Palestinian.

Martyr Muhammad al-Deek, who was only 16 years old, was killed after he succumbed to his wounds caused by direct fire from Israeli occupation forces who raided the town of Kafr Ni’ma in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank. 

However, the Israeli occupation did not just raid Ramallah. In what has become a daily practice aimed at terrorizing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank of occupied Palestine, the Israeli occupation raided several cities and detained several Palestinians.
