Illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers carried out a series of attacks across multiple areas of the occupied West Bank on Sunday, burning property, assaulting residents, blocking roads, and damaging infrastructure in incidents reported in Nablus in the northern West Bank, Ramallah in the central West Bank, Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, and Tubas in the northeastern West Bank.
In Nablus in the northern West Bank, colonizers set fire to a tourist tent and other property in several locations northwest of the city, including the historic al‑Mas’udiyya area and the village of Deir Sharaf.
Local residents reported that around 30 masked colonizers invaded the al‑Mas’udiyya archaeological site and ignited part of a tourist tent before Palestinian youths confronted them and forced them to withdraw.
In Deir Sharaf, colonizers burned part of an auto‑repair yard west of the village while simultaneously engaging in violent acts along the road connecting Nablus and Tulkarem in the northwestern West Bank.

The attacks expanded to include the burning of a workshop office, a tow truck parked outside an auto‑repair facility, and a bulldozer in the area, heightening tension among residents.
Colonizers also opened fire at an electrical transformer in the town of Beita, south of Nablus, cutting power to the surrounding area. Local sources said the attack took place near Jabal al‑‘Arma, where colonizers were present in significant numbers.
Earlier in the day, colonizers demolished a wall belonging to a home in Beita and assaulted a 47‑year‑old resident, who was treated by medics of the Palestinian Red Crescent Society after sustaining injuries from the beating.
Additional attacks were reported on Jabal Sbeih, where colonizers destroyed a wall belonging to the al‑Yitmawi family.
A separate colonizer assault on the nearby village of Deir al‑Hatab, east of Nablus, resulted in nine injuries, including one caused by live ammunition.
Furthermore, the PRCS in Nablus confirmed that its crews treated a 45‑year‑old man who was shot in the foot, along with eight others who suffered injuries from beatings, gas inhalation, smoke exposure, and a fall that caused a fractured thigh.
Colonizers also invaded residential areas in the village, setting fire to several homes and vehicles as firefighters worked to contain the flames.
In Ramallah in the central West Bank, Israeli colonizers attacked the village of Burqa, east of the city, shortly before midnight, setting fire to the village’s health clinic and a commercial truck, causing property damage and triggering widespread fear among residents.
Local sources said the colonizers invaded the village suddenly and under the protection of Israeli forces, prompting panic and heightened tension among the community as flames spread through the targeted structures
The colonizers also colonizers closed several main and secondary roads around the governorate, forming gatherings at key junctions and obstructing the movement of residents.
Local sources reported that colonizers blocked the Karamillo roundabout and shut the nearby al‑Taybeh–Karamillo gate.
Similar gatherings were reported near the illegal colony of Shilo. Colonizers also blocked the ‘Ein Ayoub Road west of Ramallah and the road from al‑Taybeh toward Jericho, using stones to prevent vehicles from passing.
In Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, colonizers gathered at the western entrance to the district’s rural communities, specifically in the ‘Aqabat Hasna area—the only access point for the towns of Nahalin and Battir and the villages of Husan and Wadi Fukin.
Residents reported that colonizers spread out along the road leading to the colonial bypass Route 60 and attempted to attack Palestinian vehicles.
In Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, colonizers stole a horse from a Palestinian citizen at the Tayasir military roadblock. Human rights activist Aref Daraghma said colonizers seized the horse after Israeli soldiers confiscated it from its owner and forced it off a vehicle waiting at the roadblock.
These incidents come amid a sharp escalation in colonizer violence across Palestinian towns and villages, particularly around Nablus, and occur under the protection and accompaniment of Israeli forces.
Residents report that the attacks, road closures, and property destruction are severely restricting movement and threatening the safety of communities across the occupied West Bank.
