An escalation of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has been reported, with incidents including arson attacks, land seizures, and water theft. In Khirbet al-Tuwaiba, south of Hebron, settlers launched arson attacks that wounded residents, including children and women, and caused suffocation. In the northern Jordan Valley, settlers fenced off Palestinian-owned land. Settlers also stole water supplies from Madma and Asira al-Qibliya near Nablus by diverting water from main pipelines to their illegal outposts. In Beit Furik, east of Nablus, at least three people were injured in settler attacks, which local media indicated occurred under the protection of Israeli forces. Separately, a young man was shot in the foot by Israeli forces in Al-Ram, north of occupied East Jerusalem, and received hospital treatment. Palestinian Red Crescent crews also responded to eight cases of assault during an Israeli military raid in the Qalandiya refugee camp.
