Israeli settlers, army continue attacks in West Bank towns

Israeli settler violence across occupied West Bank continued later on Saturday as settler groups launched new attacks on Palestinians in the villages of Burqa and Arrabeh, Palestine’s Wafa news agency reported. In Burqa, Israeli settlers attacked local farmers, fired shots in their direction, and attempted to torch one of their vehicles. In Arrabeh, settlers let their livestock graze on Palestinian-owned olive groves and attacked residents. In a separate incident, Israeli forces opened fire and used tear gas after Palestinian residents confronted violent settlers in al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, according to Al Jazeera.
