Settlers attacked residents and damaged an agricultural structure in Bitta, south of Nablus, early Monday morning, according to Shehab Wire. The assailants also targeted infrastructure in the area, cutting electrical poles between Bitta and Osarin. The destruction left multiple households without power.
The incidents mark the latest in a pattern of settler violence targeting Palestinian communities in the northern West Bank. Bitta and Osarin lie in areas where tensions between Palestinian residents and Israeli settlers frequently escalate into confrontations over land, resources, and access to services.
