Israeli settler groups carried out a series of attacks on Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank on Monday, vandalizing property and targeting homes, land, and vehicles under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.
In one incident, settlers detained several Palestinian residents in the village of Al-Burj, southwest of Hebron, and released their cattle to graze on farmland belonging to local families.

At dawn, settlers also smashed several Palestinian vehicles and other property by pelting them with stones near the town of Beit Lid, north of Tulkarm.
Another settler blocked the Al-Mu’arajat road between Jericho and Ramallah to graze his sheep, disrupting traffic and causing significant confusion for residents and commuters.
Settler groups renewed their attacks last night on water infrastructure in the Ein Samia area, east of Kafr Malik, targeting Water Well No. 6, which resulted in water cuts affecting nearby villages that rely on the well.

The Jerusalem Water Authority, responsible for supplying water to the Ramallah region, confirmed that settlers attacked Well No. 6, causing a complete halt to pumping operations.
The Authority warned that the shutdown threatens the main water source for several population centers east of Ramallah, noting that the outage was caused by a direct attack. Crews are working to restore pumping as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, groups of settlers, accompanied by Israeli occupation forces, stormed the Al-‘Arara Bedouin community northeast of Jerusalem. According to the Badeer Human Rights Organization, settlers roamed near residents’ homes, triggering fear among families already living under increasing pressure and ongoing threats that undermine their daily stability.
These developments mark a sharp escalation in the West Bank, combining mass arrests with increasing settler attacks, raising fears of widening unrest and instability across multiple areas.
