Ramallah - Saba:
Zionist enemy forces stormed the village of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah, on Friday.
According to the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA), local sources reported that a foot patrol of the enemy army raided Kafr Malik and broke into several homes. The sources noted that the raids focused on the area where settlers had carried out a bloody attack last Wednesday evening, resulting in the martyrdom of three Palestinians and the burning of a house and two vehicles.
A video clip showed enemy soldiers tearing down pictures of the three martyrs from the village, who were killed while confronting the settlers' assault.

Meanwhile, enemy forces stormed the town of Al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, overnight.

The agency added that the enemy forces fired live ammunition and chased a number of youths.
Settlers Attack Farmers in Shuqba and South Hebron
In a separate incident, settlers attacked Palestinian farmers on their agricultural land in the town of Shuqba, west of Ramallah, on Friday evening. The settlers forced the farmers off land owned by one of them in the northwest of the town, threatening them with a machine gun. A video showed an armed settler pushing a young man and firing shots into the air when the farmers refused to leave.
Additionally, armed settlers demolished an agricultural structure, razed land, and attacked homes and farmland south of Hebron on Friday.
Activist Osama Mkhamreh told WAFA that a group of armed settlers from the "Ateniel" settlement used a bulldozer to destroy a 50-square-meter agricultural barracks in "Khallet Al-Farra," west of Yatta, owned by citizen Ahmed Abu Sabah. They also leveled surrounding farmland.
In the "Ikhal Al-Homs" area, southeast of Yatta, armed settlers attacked the house of citizen Mohammed Abdullah Obeid, smashing windows and stealing furniture, equipment, and mobile phones from his wife and son to prevent them from documenting the assault. Enemy forces later detained Obeid for several hours for interrogation.
The settlers also shattered the windows of a health clinic and released their cattle into farmers' fields and near their homes, destroying irrigation networks and uprooting numerous fruitful grapevines and trees.
