Israeli occupation forces conducted extensive overnight and Friday morning operations across the West Bank, marked by numerous arrests, forced evictions, and property destruction. These actions coincided with violent attacks carried out by Israeli settlers.
In Jericho, approximately 20 Palestinian families were forcibly expelled from their homes in the Arab al-Malihiat community north of the city by settlers. This act is seen as contributing to the expanding Israeli settlement presence in the Jordan Valley.

Settlers also attacked Palestinian-owned land on Jabal Qummas, south of the town of Beita, leading to clashes where Israeli occupation soldiers reportedly fired live bullets at Palestinian youth. Additionally, settlers cut down trees on land in the town of Burin, located between a bypass road and the Yitzhar settlement.
