Settlers, on Wednesday, burned a home and an agricultural room, and wrote racist slogans on the walls of Palestinian homes, in the village of Al-Tuwana in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank.
The anti-settlement activist in southern Hebron, Osama Makhamra, told the official Palestinian News Agency that armed settlers, under the protection of occupation soldiers, from the settlement of "Hafat Maon" established on Palestinian lands and properties, set fire to the home of Ibrahim Muhammad Abu A'ram and an agricultural room of the citizen Khalil Shahda Qubi, in the Shi'ab area of Al-Tuwana village in Masafer Yatta.
He added that the settlers wrote racist slogans on the walls of the houses in the area.
It should be noted that settlers have recently escalated their attacks on Palestinians in Masafer Yatta, which included attacking homes and vehicles, assaulting residents, and setting up mobile homes on Palestinian lands.
- Air landings and incursions
Israeli occupation forces carried out an air landing of some of their soldiers, coinciding with a wide-scale incursion into Yatta city, south of Hebron, at dawn on Wednesday.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the Futuh area in Yatta city in large numbers, coinciding with the execution of an air landing operation for the occupation soldiers in the area.
The sources added that the occupation army informed a number of families that the incursion is part of military training operations in the region.
In a related context, settlers transported construction equipment to the settlement outpost established on Palestinian lands in Khallet Al-Hams, south of Yatta, with the aim of carrying out construction and expansion work there, and they also stormed the home of Khairi Abu Tuhfa in the area.
Also, electricity was cut off, since last night, to a number of Palestinian homes in the southern side of Wadi Al-Rakhim, south of Yatta, after settlers cut and burned the main electricity cable supplying the area.
- Incursions in Nablus and its surroundings
Israeli occupation forces, at dawn on Wednesday, stormed Nablus city, accompanied by a number of armored vehicles, and spread in several neighborhoods and areas of the city.
Local sources reported that the occupation forces stormed the city from the Awrta and 17 checkpoints, while the armored vehicles stormed Essaira Street and the vicinity of Al-Quds Open University in western Nablus, coinciding with the deployment of a foot force in the Austrian Housing area in western the city.
The sources added that a foot force from the occupation army stormed the Al-Dahiyeh neighborhood in eastern Nablus, and the occupation forces stormed Balata Al-Balad in eastern the city and fired sound bombs during their incursion into the Al-Quran Academy area.
Later, occupation armored vehicles stormed the village of Essaira Al-Shamaliya, while other forces stormed the town of Awrta, amid a military deployment in a number of areas.
In the northern Jordan Valley, local sources reported the presence of settlers near Palestinian homes in the Nab'a Ghazal Al-Farisiya area, without immediate information about the nature of this deployment.
Nablus Governorate has witnessed, for months, repeated incursions by the occupation forces that include cities, towns and camps, interspersed with raids, arrests and the firing of sound and gas bombs, while several areas have recorded attacks on Palestinians.
