Meanwhile, Israeli settlers attacked the outskirts of the village of Farakha, west of Salfit governorate in the northern West Bank, firing live ammunition into the air.
Mustafa Bakr, a member of the Farakha village council, told Anadolu Agency that around 50 settlers attacked the northern edges of the village and fired live bullets into the air, spreading fear among residents.

Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip on October 8, 2023, at least 1,105 Palestinians have been killed, around 11,000 injured, and more than 21,000 arrested by Israeli occupation forces and settlers in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
Meanwhile, Israel’s war on Gaza, carried out with US support, has left more than 71,000 Palestinians killed and 171,000 wounded, most of them women and children, and has destroyed about 90% of civilian infrastructure. The United Nations has estimated the cost of reconstruction at approximately $70 billion, according to Anadolu Agency.
