In Hebron, Israeli soldiers raided another house, confined the family to a single room and searched and ransacked the property, according to the report.
Settlers Attack Hebron Shops
Hundreds of Israeli settlers entered the Old City of Hebron under the protection of Israeli forces and forced shopkeepers to close their businesses.
Settlers also attacked a Palestinian home on Al-Shuhada Street, smashing its windows, Wafa reported.
The developments added to tensions in the city, where Palestinian residents and businesses have faced repeated restrictions and incidents involving Israeli forces and settlers.
Olive Harvesters Attacked
West of Jenin, Israeli settlers reportedly attacked Palestinians who were harvesting olives. They also seized a tractor and quantities of the harvested crop.
