Israeli occupation forces escalated their assaults across the occupied West Bank in recent hours, conducting widespread raids, arresting Palestinians, assaulting residents, and sealing off village entrances—further tightening restrictions on daily life.
Settlers Assault Homes in Southern Hebron
Local sources reported that Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian homes in the village of Al-Zuwaidin, located in the Yatta desert region south of Hebron. The attackers reportedly infiltrated from a newly established outpost near the village, storming residents’ homes and assaulting families inside.
Zionist soldiers arrived at the scene amid residents’ attempts to repel the settler attack and responded by firing live ammunition and tear gas at Palestinian civilians.
Local accounts report that Israeli occupation forces detained at least ten young men from the village during the ensuing clashes.

Separately, a young man was injured during a violent Israeli army raid on a bakery in the town of Dura, south of Hebron.
Arrests and Crackdown in Occupied Al-Quds
In occupied Al-Quds (Jerusalem), Israeli occupation forces arrested two young men from the Ras al-Amoud neighborhood in Silwan, south of Al-Aqsa Mosque. The arrests came after the two were severely beaten. Tear gas was also fired in the area as part of the Israeli occupation’s ongoing crackdown on residents of the city.
Additionally, Israeli occupation forces closed key entrances to several towns and villages west of Ramallah, blocking Palestinian movement in and out of these areas. The closures disrupted residents’ daily lives and access to essential services.

Over 1,200 Settler and Army Attacks in September
According to the Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, Zionist settlers and occupation forces carried out 1,215 attacks across the West Bank in September alone—490 of them perpetrated by settlers.
These assaults included armed raids on Palestinian villages, land seizures, field executions, destruction of agricultural land, uprooting of trees, and the confiscation of Palestinian property. Other violations included road closures and checkpoints that fragmented Palestinian communities.
Since the beginning of the war, Israeli forces and settlers have killed at least 1,048 Palestinians in the West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, according to official Palestinian data. More than 10,300 have been injured, and over 19,000 arrested—among them at least 400 children.
