Among the villages targeted by the settlers' assaults were Baytin, Turmus Aya, Atara, and Deir Dibwan east of the Ramallah and al-Bireh governorates.

Our correspondent said that settlers fired live ammunition at Palestinians in the towns of Deir Dibwan and Baytin, damaging their vehicles and setting many of them on fire near the Jalazone refugee camp, the town of Bruqin in Salfit, and the Ain Siniya roundabout east of Ramallah.
