Clashes between settlers and Israeli forces in the West Bank, houses set on fire and attacks reported

During the night, clashes broke out in the village of Jalud, in the central West Bank, between around 100 settlers and Israeli security forces, who arrived on site to enforce an order from the High Court of Justice requiring the eviction of settlers who had occupied three Palestinian houses on the outskirts of the city in July. This was reported - as reported by The Times of Israel - by the public broadcaster Kan. Two settlers were arrested and some houses were set on fire.

The Israeli Defense Forces and the border police - according to local media - are trying to secure the area so that the evicted Palestinian families can return to their homes, but they are still encountering difficulties.

Also during the night, Israeli settlers - Palestinian media report - raided the village of Qaryut, in the northern West Bank, attacking and injuring an elderly woman. Another settler attack occurred in the village of al-Mughayyir: a Molotov cocktail was thrown through the window of a house while a family slept inside. At the moment no injuries have been reported.
