The settlers were protesting against the occupation government, as they called it to harsher its policies with the Palestinian people and prisoners.
This came after an Israeli settler was killed allegedly by Palestinians in an alleged shooting attack near the illegal settlement of Homesh, north of Nablus city in the occupied West Bank, on Thursday, amid a spike in settler violence against Palestinians and their properties in the occupied Palestinian territories.
On Friday, groups of armed Israelis attacked the villages of Burqa and Qaryout in occupied Nablus and tried to kill and kidnap native Palestinians. They have reportedly burnt 20 houses.
The violent acts include beating, throwing stones, issuing threats, torching fields, destroying trees and crops, stealing crops, using live fire, and damaging homes and cars.
There are 280 illegal settlements in the West Bank, which are home to more than 440,000 settlers.
In 2021, there were 135 recorded incidents of stones thrown at Palestinians, up from 90 in 2019, and 250 additional violent incidents, compared to 100 in 2019.
The European Union quickly agreed to expand sanctions on Iran over measures it took following the US-Israeli war, but failed to reach consensus on suspending its trade agreement with Israel despite growing pressure from several member states and human rights groups.
Over 1,100 musicians and cultural figures, including Kneecap, Massive Attack, and Paloma Faith, have called for a boycott of Eurovision 2026, demanding Israel be excluded over its ongoing genocide in Gaza and condemning the European Broadcasting Union of double standards.
Under Israeli military protection, settlers demolished a Palestinian school and nearby homes in the northern Jordan Valley, intensifying displacement pressure on Bedouin communities in the occupied West Bank.
