The Palestine Red Crescent Society reported that ten Palestinians were injured on Saturday morning during an attack by Israeli settlers on the town of Khalayel al-Loz, located south of Beit Lahm.

Among the wounded, one individual was shot in the thigh, while at least three others sustained bruises after being beaten by settlers, according to the first aid service. The condition of the injured remains unclear as of now.

Footage circulating on social media showed a group of settlers wearing white shirts and skullcaps positioned on a hill overlooking the village. One of them was visibly armed with a semi-automatic rifle, while others were seen hurling stones toward Palestinian homes and residents.

The attack marks another escalation in ongoing settler violence across the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians continue to face harassment, land seizures, and physical assaults amid increasing tension in the region. The Palestine Red Crescent has been responding to frequent injuries caused by both settler and Israeli occupation forces in various areas of the occupied territories.

This comes after France, Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom on Thursday called on "Israel" to comply with international law and take immediate measures to protect Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, as illegal settler attacks surged to levels not seen in nearly two decades, Anadolu reported.

In a joint statement, the four countries, collectively known as the E4, condemned the sharp rise in settler violence against Palestinian civilians and urged stability in the West Bank. Citing United Nations figures, the statement noted that 264 settler attacks were recorded in October alone, marking the highest monthly total since systematic monitoring began in 2006.

IOF demolish homes, arrest Palestinians

On Friday afternoon, Israeli occupation forces began demolishing several homes in the southwestern areas of the Jenin camp in the northern West Bank.

Local sources reported that the Israeli forces forced a family out of their home in Tubas, converting it into a military outpost in the al-Thughra area of the city, and detained three youths from the al-Far’a camp, south of the city, reportedly subjecting them to harsh treatment.

Tulkarm Governorate, in the northern West Bank, also witnessed Israeli assaults, with settlers attacking Palestinian residents in the town of Beit Lid. Israeli forces additionally raided the towns of Kfar Malek and Silwad in the Ramallah governorate, located in the central West Bank.

Confrontations broke out at dawn between Palestinian youths and settlers in Silwad, northeast of Ramallah, coinciding with a wide campaign of raids and arrests carried out by Israeli forces in multiple West Bank cities and towns.
