Four Palestinians were injured Saturday in an attack by Israeli settlers in the town of Beita, located south of Nablus in the West Bank, local sources reported. According to witnesses, the settlers assaulted Palestinian farmers working in the areas of Jabal Qimaas and Al-Dhahr, southeast of the town, resulting in injuries to four individuals who were subsequently transferred for medical care.

Beita and its surrounding villages have experienced frequent confrontations and attacks involving settlers targeting Palestinian residents, agricultural workers, and their property. The incidents are part of a broader pattern of settler-related violence in the region, often taking place under the protection of Israeli security forces.

On the same day, settlers also caused damage in the village of Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah. Amin Abu Alia, head of the Al-Mughayyir village council, stated that settlers released sheep into Palestinian-owned farmland in the village’s eastern plain, destroyed trees, and stole olive crops. These acts followed a pattern of repeated settler violence and vandalism in the area.

Moreover, Israeli forces reportedly enforced a closure on the village’s western entrance for several hours, restricting the movement of residents. This entrance remains the only accessible route into and out of Al-Mughayyir after the eastern entrance was sealed more than three years ago. The prolonged closures and military incursions have compounded difficulties for villagers in accessing their land and conducting daily activities.

These incidents highlight ongoing tensions and clashes in the West Bank between Israeli settlers and Palestinian communities, particularly concerning land use, agriculture, and the freedom of movement amid an enduring cycle of violence and restrictions.
