Dozens of masked Israeli settlers entered the Palestinian village of Turmus Aiya in the West Bank on Saturday evening, setting fire to a home and a car, according to Israeli media reports. The group, estimated at around 20 people, also spray-painted graffiti reading 'Revenge' and 'Hello from Khirbat Abu Falah' on a wall. No arrests were reported.

Khirbat Abu Falah, located near Turmus Aiya, has recently been the site of attempts by settlers to establish a new outpost. The incident comes amid growing tensions and a reported rise in settler-related violence in the West Bank.

In Tel Aviv, hundreds of Israelis gathered at Habima Square to protest settler violence, urging the government and security authorities to take concrete action rather than issue condemnations. In a separate incident, Palestinian children in the village of Umm al-Khair were prevented from reaching their school after settlers allegedly placed barbed wire across their usual path, which rights groups described as part of an effort to intimidate residents and push them off their land.
