In a consensus, Palestinian factions have expressed the utmost necessity of confronting fanatic Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, on Saturday. 

Palestinian factions put out statements following an attack on Palestinian villages near Ramallah, which led to the martyrdom of at least one Palestinian and injured multiple others after settlers, protected by occupation forces, stormed the villages of al-Mughayyir and Burqa on Friday. 

PIJ holds PA responsible for settler attacks

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) said that the Palestinian Resistance factions will fulfill their duties in defending the Palestinian people, holding the Palestinian Authority responsible for the state of decay experienced in the occupied territory. In a statement, the PIJ said that the historical practices of the PA, specifically security coordination with occupation forces, have brought occupied territory to the current situation.

Pointing to the role of normalizing Arab states and the international community, the PIJ held the aforementioned entities responsible for the "rampage" of Israeli settler gangs in the West Bank. 

The movement pointed out that the systematic attacks in the West Bank aim to extend the Israeli entity’s control over al-Aqsa Mosque. It called on people everywhere to confront the settler attacks with full force. Moreover, the PIJ called on all Arabs and Muslims to escalate their actions in support of Palestine and the West Bank, in the face of expanded settler attacks.

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades in the West Bank, announced its responsibility for an attack on the Israeli-controlled Huwara checkpoint to the south of Nablus. A statement put out by its Military Media unit emphasized that its fighters and the fighters of every Palestinian Resistance faction are ready to foil any future attack from Israeli settlers in the West Bank. 

The spokesperson for the PFLP's armed wing, Abu Jihad, who is carrying out his military work from the Gaza Strip, stressed the need to confront the Israeli occupation and its settlers. He emphasized that the Palestinians should ignite the flame of an "Intifada", an Arabic term for a revolution against the Israeli occupier, on every front. 

"You (Palestinians in the West Bank) should create the nightmare that has always haunted Zionists," Abu Jamal asserted in a military address. 

Abu Ali Mustapha Brigades in the West Bank had announced that their fighters targeted Israeli settlers with live gunfire, after fanatic groups of armed Israeli settlers went on a rampage in al-Mughayyir, setting ablaze several Palestinian homes and cars. 

The PFLP's armed wing also targeted Israeli occupation forces at their site in Jabal Jarzim, marking a significant escalation in the group's actions.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that Palestinians in Qusra and Beit Furik continue to confront Israeli settlers who have launched yet another attack on villages south of Nablus. 

Moreover, Palestinians in al-Sawiyah opened fire with their assault rifles at armed Israeli militias that attempted to attack the town. In Duma to the west of Nablus, settlers set several homes in the town ablaze. 

Settlers attacked a residential community in Masafer Yatta, near al-Khalil, and expelled Palestinian families at gunpoint.

Others congregated in the illegal settlement of "Homesh" near Nablus to prepare for an attack while others gathered near Rujeib, a Palestinian town bordered by several illegal settlements.
