Jericho: Israeli settler attacks on the village of Deir al-Dik, west of Jericho in the occupied West Bank, have forced 15 Palestinian families to flee their homes amid Israeli land-leveling operations in the surrounding area. Palestinian sources reported that the families, who reside in the "Astih" area, left their homes under threats from settlers who leveled nearby lands to prevent residents from accessing and using them.
According to Jordan News Agency, Israeli occupation forces carried out a wide-scale campaign of raids and incursions across several areas of the occupied West Bank and occupied Jerusalem. During these operations, 25 Palestinians were arrested, including former detainees, as reported by a statement from the Palestinian Prisoners Club.
In a related event, dozens of settlers stormed the Al Aqsa Mosque compound through the Mughrabi Gate under heavy protection from Israeli police. This incident was confirmed by the Islamic Waqf Department in Jerusalem.
