Ramallah, Aug. 8 (Petra) -- Several Palestinians sustained various injuries on Saturday following an attack by extremist settlers on the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
The Ambulance and Emergency Center of the Red Crescent in Nablus reported that emergency crews treated several individuals who were physically assaulted by settlers in Beit Furik.
According to the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, Israeli occupation forces and settlers committed 2,256 attacks against Palestinians, their land, and properties in the West Bank during July, with occupation forces carrying out 1,458 attacks and settlers executing 798.
Meanwhile, armed extremist settlers attacked a Palestinian residence east of Bethlehem, while others raided several areas across the city. The commission stated that settlers targeted a home in the University Housing area east of Bethlehem, completely shattering its windows.
In the central West Bank, Israeli military bulldozers continued leveling land in the town of Singil, north of Ramallah, to expand a recently established outpost. The Singil Municipal Council stated that military bulldozers have been clearing land in the Gharabah area for days to enlarge the outpost, which has served as a launchpad for settler attacks, preventing local Palestinians from accessing their lands.
