Abu Falah

Israeli forces and settlers in the West Bank conducted arson attacks, property destruction, and assaulted Palestinians, including children, under the protection of Israeli military. Incidents occurred in Talfit, Jalud, Beita, and al-Mughayyir, with Israeli forces using live ammunition and bulldozers during clashes near Joseph’s Tomb.

Israeli settlers attacked West Bank villages, including pepper-spraying an elderly Palestinian man in Abu Njeim southeast of Bethlehem. Settlers, supported by the Israeli army, assaulted villagers in al-Maghayyir and Abu Falah, detained two farmers tending their land, and attacked the western outskirts of al-Maghayyir. Israeli forces also raided the Solomon’s Pools tourist area in Bethlehem without reported casualties.

An elderly man was injured in an attack by settlers on Palestinians and foreign volunteers in the West Bank. Settlers threw stones and used pepper spray in Abu Falah, while three people were injured in a separate attack near Ramallah.
