Illegal Israeli settlers, accompanied by Israeli forces, raided areas west of the occupied West Bank city of Nablus and the nearby town of Tell on Friday, according to witnesses.
An Anadolu correspondent said dozens of illegal settlers entered the Ain al-Mazrab area of Tell as well as the al-Ameriya area and nearby locations west of Nablus under the protection of Israeli troops.
The group remained in the area for less than 30 minutes before leaving.
Raid follows deadly violence
The latest incursion came after settler groups called for a mass march to Tell on Friday and a day after the Israeli army converted four homes in the town into military outposts.
It also followed a settler attack on Tell a week earlier that killed four Palestinians, wounded several others and set homes, vehicles and other Palestinian property on fire.
Two Israelis were also killed during the violence, according to Palestinian and Israeli sources.
Illegal Israeli settler attacks have intensified across the occupied West Bank alongside near-daily Israeli military raids targeting Palestinian cities, towns and refugee camps since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023.
