Dozens of settlers entered Za'atra wilderness near the village of Za'atra east of Bethlehem on Friday morning, according to Shehab Wire. The group, numbering approximately 50 people, positioned themselves in the Wadi al-Mu'allaq area within the disputed territory.
The incursion involved provocative movements and actions directed at Palestinian residents present in the location. Local sources characterized the settlers' conduct as deliberately inflammatory, though specifics of the confrontation remained limited in early reports from the scene.
