At least 14 attacks were recorded on Saturday evening in the occupied West Bank in Palestine, which, according to the Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, were carried out by Israeli settlers.

The commission reported six cases in the Ramallah and Al-Bireh governorate, three each in the Hebron and Nablus governorates, and two in Bethlehem. The Palestinian body links these actions to Israeli settlers.
