Palestinian activist Ibrahim Ebayat confirmed to WAFA that during the rampage, occupation forces did not prevent the settlers from burning homes and vehicles and attacking Palestinians.

In a related context, WAFA reported that Israeli settlers burned about 50 dunums of corps in the village of Al-Tuwane in Masafer Yatta, south of occupied Al-Khalil.

The news agency cited local activist Rateb Al-Jabour as saying that the settlers set fire to Palestinian crops in the village owned by three villagers, leading to their destruction.

Al-Jabour highlighted that in light of the expansion of illegal Israeli settlement outposts in Masafer Yatta, settlers intensified their attacks against Palestinian citizens' property, crops and pastures, wells, and houses.
