Illegal Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank early Friday, setting fire to six homes and a vehicle.
Suleiman Dawabsheh, head of the Duma Village Council, told Turkish news agency Anadolu that dozens of settlers stormed Khirbet al-Marajim, a village near Duma in Nablus Governorate, and deliberately set fire to the homes and a vehicle, causing severe damage.
Clashes broke out between villagers and settlers following the attack, but no injuries were reported.
Tensions remain high across the occupied West Bank, where since October 7, 2023, at least 935 Palestinians have been killed and nearly 7,000 injured by Israeli forces and settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
In July, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal, calling for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
