Ramallah, June 15 (Petra) – Israeli occupation forces arrested 14
Palestinians on Monday during a wide-ranging raid and detention
campaign across several areas of the occupied West Bank, according to
the Palestinian Prisoners Club.

The organisation said clashes erupted in some locations during the
raids, resulting in injuries and cases of suffocation. The campaign
involved house searches, the ransacking of property and the temporary
detention of residents, some of whom were subjected to field
interrogations that lasted for several hours.

Separately, illegal Israeli settlers carried out attacks against
Palestinians and set fire to agricultural land in the Masoudiya area,
northwest of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank.

According to the Nablus Governorate, a group of armed settlers
attacked the area, throwing stones at residents and injuring one
person in the hand. The settlers also attempted to break into a home.

The governorate added that settlers set fire to wheat fields, burning
large tracts of agricultural land and causing significant crop
damage.

In a separate incident, illegal Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian
homes in the town of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, by throwing stones
at residents’ properties.

The illegal settlers spray-painted racist slogans on a mosque, set
fire to a vehicle and attempted to burn a mosque in the village of
Burqa, east of occupied Ramallah.

A local village council said settlers forced open the mosque’s doors
and set fire to its entrance in an apparent attempt to burn down the
building.

Residents managed to extinguish the flames before they spread inside
the mosque, while the attackers fled the area.
