Israeli settlers' aggression

This comes after Israeli settlers attacked several villages and towns in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, opening fire on Palestinians and their properties, leading to the martyrdom of one Palestinian in al-Mughayyir town.

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.

Additionally, they stormed the town of Duma, set Palestinian homes on fire, vandalized, and fired at their vehicles. They also stopped Palestinian civilians and interrogated them.
