Israeli settlers carried out a series of attacks across the occupied West Bank on Saturday, leaving one Palestinian injured and agricultural property set ablaze amid growing tensions linked to the ongoing genocidal war in Gaza.

In the town of Sinjil, north-east of Ramallah, a Palestinian man was reportedly beaten by settlers while gathering wild herbs on his land. Local residents said Jaber Shabane suffered bruising after the attack and was later taken to hospital for treatment. Earlier in the day, settlers also set fire to a farming structure in nearby Turmus Ayya and spray-painted racist slogans on its walls, according to witnesses in the area.

Elsewhere in the northern Jordan Valley, Palestinian shepherds said they were chased from grazing land by settlers in the al-Farisiya Ahmir area while Israeli forces remained present nearby. Rights groups and residents say such incidents have become increasingly frequent, with pressure mounting on farming communities through land restrictions, intimidation and damage to livestock areas. In Khirbet al-Hamma, activists reported that cattle belonging to settlers were deliberately driven between Palestinian homes in what residents described as an effort to force families to leave the area.

Further west, settlers reportedly attacked the outskirts of Kafr ad-Dik near Salfit, prompting local calls over mosque loudspeakers for residents to protect the town. The previous evening, vehicles were torched and vandalised during another raid on the village of Shuqba, west of Ramallah.

According to Palestinian monitoring groups, more than 1,600 incidents involving Israeli forces and settlers were recorded across the West Bank during April alone, with the highest number concentrated in the governorates of Nablus, Hebron and Ramallah as violence linked to the genocidal war continues to spread beyond Gaza.
