In recent days, the level of violence on the western coast has been rising rapidly. On Friday, organized attacks carried out by residents of settlements in several areas have further deepened the sense of fear and insecurity among local people.
In the town of Asira al-Qibliya, located south of Nablus, settlers carried out an attack and set fire to the front part of a vehicle belonging to Ahmad Hamdan Ahmad. According to village council head Hafiz Saleh, the attackers not only targeted the vehicle but also attempted to burn storage facilities and other equipment. He said the attack was focused on homes located near a pastoral outpost that falls within ‘Area B.’ The attackers also targeted the town’s main water tank, disrupting access to water and halting repair work.
A similar incident was reported in the village of Burqa, located east of Ramallah. According to local sources, settlers launched an attack from the eastern part of the village and detained several young men near an amusement park. Additionally, the attackers took two vehicles with them and later withdrew from the area.
Settlers stormed the Khallayel al-Loz area, southeast of Bethlehem, and gathered at a place called “Bir al-Miyah” (the water well), where they began carrying out provocative actions against local residents, further escalating tensions in the area.
Earlier, armed settlers from the “Otniel” settlement set fire to the vehicles of two brothers in the Majd al-Ba area, west of Yatta. The attack occurred while they were targeting homes.
According to the report, there has been a clear increase in attacks by settlers and Israeli forces in the West Bank in recent weeks. These incidents include raids on homes, uprooting of trees, and destruction of agricultural structures. This rising violence has further intensified tensions across the region.
