Illegal Israeli colonizers carried out a series of attacks on Saturday night and Sunday morning, wounding three Palestinians Near Nablus and three others near Salfit, in the northern and central parts of the occupied West Bank.
At midnight Saturday/Sunday, a group of Israeli settlers infiltrated the town of Silat al-Dhahr, southwest of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

In a statement the committee declared that “The organized and deliberate attacks carried out by these militias, the destruction of their property, the theft of their money, and the attempts to impose a new settlement and security reality by force of arms, constitute a dangerous escalation aimed at displacing our people and entrenching the criminal apartheid regime. These are war crimes and crimes against humanity committed on Palestinian land in malicious ways and at a continuous pace against the citizens.”
