Violence reported in Nablus following Israeli military raid and settler activity
Tensions escalated in Nablus on Monday as Israeli military forces conducted a raid to secure a site for settlers, resulting in three Palestinian injuries. Additionally, separate reports indicate that settlers set fire to agricultural land and damaged vehicles in nearby towns.
On Monday, violence was reported in and around the city of Nablus in the West Bank. According to reports from the Palestine Red Crescent Society and Wafa news, three Palestinians were injured during an Israeli military operation in the eastern part of the city. The military activity, which included the use of armored vehicles and a bulldozer, was reportedly conducted to facilitate a settler visit to Joseph’s Tomb. During the operation, Israeli forces allegedly fired live ammunition and tear gas at local residents. Medical personnel treated an 18-year-old for a gunshot wound to the foot, among other injuries.
Separately, reports emerged of settler-led violence occurring south of Nablus on the same day. In the town of Beita, agricultural land was set on fire, while near the village of Burin, Palestinian vehicles were reportedly pelted with stones. Local sources stated that these acts were carried out by settlers under the protection of the Israeli military. While the reports describe two distinct sets of events—a military raid in the east and settler activity in the south—both incidents contribute to the ongoing cycle of instability in the region. There has been no official statement from the Israeli military regarding the specific allegations of property damage or the necessity of the force used during the Nablus raid.
