Israeli forces conducted raids in several Palestinian towns in the occupied West Bank, including Jenin and Al-Mughayyir, firing tear gas and gas bombs. These actions occurred as Israeli settlers engaged in attacks on Palestinian property, including homes, vehicles, and infrastructure.
In Jenin, Israeli forces raided a children's toy store and fired tear gas in the marketplace. Simultaneously, forces stormed the village of Al-Mughayyir, near Ramallah, deploying gas bombs. The Wafa news agency reported that Israeli settlers attacked a house and several vehicles in Kafr Haris, and vandalized an electricity pole in Beita, near Nablus.
Further reports indicate that Israeli settlers expelled farmers from their lands at gunpoint, destroyed homes, and bulldozed land in the Khallet al-Farra area west of Yatta. Settlers also attacked a house in the Akhlaal al-Hummus area, southeast of Yatta, smashing windows and stealing furniture, equipment, and cell phones. Sheep were also stolen from the village of Arab al-Malihat, northwest of Jericho.
In Sinjil, north of Ramallah, Israeli forces fired on residents who attempted to stop a settler raid, wounding one Palestinian youth with a rubber bullet. In Ya'bad, a Palestinian youth was shot by an Israeli soldier, and Israeli forces reportedly prevented ambulances from reaching him.
At least 14 Palestinians were detained early Saturday in Nablus and Salfit, including Ultra Palestine journalist and editor Mujahid Bani Mufleh. His family expressed concern for his welfare due to his diabetes.
The increased settler violence has drawn international condemnation, with the European Union urging accountability. Human rights organizations note that Israeli forces and settlers often work in tandem to intimidate Palestinians and encourage them to leave their homes.
Beyond the immediate West Bank incidents, the UN reported that between November 25 and December 1, four Palestinians, including one child, were killed by Israeli forces, bringing the year's total to 227. Large-scale operations in Jenin and Tubas governorates affected over 95,000 Palestinians, causing extensive damage to infrastructure and displacing families. In Gaza, ongoing conflict continues to cause displacement and strain the health system, with critical shortages of food and medical supplies.
