A wave of military operations and violent friction in Judea and Samaria

Over the past 24 hours, there have been reports in Palestinian and Arab media of a series of incidents of friction, military raids, and demolition operations in Judea and Samaria. Quds News Network (QudsN) reported that Israeli security forces began demolishing a two-story house with an area of about 400 square meters in "Khirbet ad-Deir" in the town of Tuqu', citing a "lack of permits." According to the report, the family was not granted permission to remove the contents of the house prior to the demolition.

Simultaneously, Shehab Agency (Shehab) reported on the demolition of agricultural structures in the village of Duma, south of Nablus, and in Khirbet Ein al-Hilweh in the Jordan Valley. At the same time, military forces raided additional towns, including Meithalun, south of Jenin, where arrests and search operations were recorded. The IDF Spokesperson in Arabic (Avichay Adraee) stated that forces conducted extensive searches in the village of Mikhmas near Jerusalem following a report of lost contact with several Israelis who entered the village, an incident that later ended with them being found outside the village.

Palestinian sources reported a series of violent attacks by settlers against local residents and their property. Quds News Network noted that settlers attacked the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, vandalized vehicles, and caused damage to buildings. In additional documentation distributed by Shehab Agency, it was alleged that about 200 settlers took over a house in the town of Atara, north of Ramallah, and expelled its residents.

In the southern sector, the Hebron News Network reported that settlers raided Khirbet Um al-Khair in Masafer Yatta, hoisted Israeli flags on residents' homes, and violently attacked a local youth. A similar incident was reported in the area of Anata, east of Jerusalem, where it was alleged that settlers brought their flocks of sheep into built-up areas near Palestinian homes. Furthermore, Shehab Agency reported that settlers broke into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and performed "Talmudic rituals" under the protection of security forces.
