A group of Israeli settlers raided the town of Turmusaya, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, during the early hours of Sunday.

During the raid, the settlers attacked Palestinian properties, set fire to a vehicle, and painted anti-Palestinian slogans on the town's walls.

In a related context, Israeli occupation forces raided the village of Bil'in west of Ramallah, and detained Palestinian youth Mohammad al-Khatib after raiding his home.

In Ramallah, the occupation forces raided the village of Umm Safa and detained Palestinian youth Mohammad Karajah after storming his home and tampering with its contents.

Israeli occupation forces also raided the town of Dura in occupied al-Khalil, deploying military vehicles in its streets.

Elsewhere, the occupation forces raided the town of Azmout east of Nablus and the city of Beit Lahm in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli raids on the cities and towns of the occupied West Bank coincide with the ongoing aggression on the besieged Gaza Strip, which has entered its 135th consecutive day.

Last week, a joint statement by the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS), and the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association highlighted that since the start of the aggression on Gaza on October 7, Israeli occupation forces have detained more than 7,000 Palestinians from the West Bank.
