Local sources cited by the Wafa news agency report that Israeli settlers attacked the Abu Falah village northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank and cut down olive trees on Palestinian land.

Another incursion was reported in the Duma town, located south of Nablus, where settlers uprooted olive and grape trees and threatened Palestinians not to enter their lands.

According to local sources cited by Wafa, settlers in a vehicle stormed the Gharaba area, west of Sinjil and north of Ramallah, and opened fire on residents. No injuries were reported. Other settler groups also entered the al-Tall and al-Batin areas nearby.

Separately, in the al-Auja waterfall community north of Jericho, settlers forced two families to abandon their homes following violent attacks, Wafa said.
