Three Palestinians sustained injuries Tuesday after Israeli soldiers attacked them with batons in Beit Amrin, a village northwest of Nablus, the Shehab Wire reported. The wounded men suffered bruises and lacerations in the assault, which took place amid heightened military and settler activity in the area.
The incident coincided with a broader escalation by Israeli forces and settlers in Beit Amrin. Several roads in and around the village were closed following the violence, restricting movement for residents and hindering access to surrounding communities. The closures marked part of a pattern of restrictions imposed on Palestinian areas during periods of elevated tension.
