Tulkarem: Three Palestinians were injured Sunday evening in an attack carried out by illegal Israeli settlers in the northern occupied West Bank, medical and official sources said. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews transferred three individuals to a hospital after they were beaten by illegal settlers in the village of Beit Lid, near the city of Tulkarem. Further details on their condition were not provided.

According to Anadolu Agency, the attack occurred in an area between the villages of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, and Beit Lid, east of Tulkarem, as reported by Palestinian state radio Voice of Palestine. Witnesses informed that the illegal settlers launched an assault on a Palestinian area between the two villages before local residents intervened, resulting in the injuries.

The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, an official body, stated that illegal Israeli settlers carried out 621 attacks against Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank in November. The ongoing conflict has seen Israeli forces and illegal settlers kill at least 1,102 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, while injuring nearly 11,000 and detaining around 21,000 since October 2023, based on Palestinian figures.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory illegal, urging the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
