A settler attack on the Kaabine Bedouin community near Ramallah in the West Bank injured two Palestinians and targeted an ambulance. Israeli police detained 10 Israelis suspected of involvement in the attacks, while the Palestinian side recorded 18 attacks on Sunday.
As attacks on Palestinians continue in the West Bank, two Palestinians were injured in the Arab al-Kaabina Bedouin community near Ramallah. An ambulance belonging to the Silwad Municipality, which was sent to treat the injured, was also attacked.
WAFA reported that Israeli settlers, together with Israeli forces, attacked the community near the village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah. Two Palestinians were beaten in the attack, sustaining bruises and other marks on their bodies.
The ambulance that reached the scene to assist the injured was also attacked.
Home raids around Ramallah and Nablus
Palestine TV reported that several homes in the village of Deir Jarir, east of Ramallah, were raided by Israeli forces and an Israeli settler accompanying them.
In the town of Beita near Nablus, an attack was carried out on the home of Palestinian Muti Salim al-Aqtash. WAFA reported that the home's electricity connection was cut and that al-Aqtash was detained by Israeli forces.
A similar attack on another Palestinian's home in Beita several hours earlier also involved cutting the electricity connection.

Police said the suspects were believed to have been involved in various attacks, including attacks on a foreign journalist in the northern West Bank and foreign diplomats in Taybeh, and that evidence linked to the incidents and multiple vehicles had been seized.
