Overview
- A settler march on Friday passed through Tal, Sarra and the al-Junaid neighbourhood of Nablus, with videos and reporters showing settlers entering Palestinian areas while Israeli soldiers stood along the route.
- Emergency services said one Palestinian was shot with live ammunition and at least 11 people, including children, were treated for injuries during the clashes that broke out as settlers moved through the towns.
- The Israeli military said the civilians left and that forces were present to disperse and evacuate them, and it acknowledged receiving reports of vandalism at a cemetery.
- Witnesses and journalists reported soldiers at times did not stop settlers from vandalising property or taking goods, a claim the army denies and which has sharpened debate over whether troops enabled the incursions.
- The events follow a deadly confrontation in Tell and come as the government moves to speed settlement approvals, a shift rights groups and the UN warn could increase raids, detentions and displacement for Palestinians.
