A 26-year-old Palestinian was killed on Saturday when Israeli forces stormed the northern West Bank city of Tubas, part of a broader wave of raids that swept through several Palestinian towns overnight, including Al-Bireh, Al-Khader, and Aboud.

The operation unfolded as violence flared elsewhere across the territory, with Israeli settlers launching coordinated assaults on Palestinians tending their olive groves, a seasonal ritual that has increasingly become an arena of confrontation.

In the village of Beita, within areas nominally under Palestinian control, settlers attacked harvesters, injuring at least eleven people, among them three journalists covering the harvest.

Additional assaults were reported in the Tel Ma’in area to the south, where residents said they were driven off their land.

The incidents have added to mounting tensions across the West Bank, where military raids and settler violence now blend into a single, grinding pattern of daily intimidation.

As Israel tightens its grip and accountability for settler attacks remains elusive, Palestinians find themselves facing the dual threat of occupation and vigilantism, their prospects for security and for peace shrinking with each passing day.
