Ramallah: Israeli settlers launched an attack on the town of Deir Dibwan, east of Ramallah, on Thursday evening, raiding a residential area and seizing a vehicle, according to local sources.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, two groups of settlers stormed the town under the protection of Israeli forces. The settlers arrived in a vehicle they had reportedly seized, as well as an all-terrain vehicle (ATV), and reached the town's first roundabout in the Al-Marah neighborhood.
The settlers then raided the vicinity of the Abu Kayed family home and closed an iron gate installed by Israeli forces at the town's entrance, preventing residents from accessing the family's house. No injuries were immediately reported.
They also blocked the town's main eastern road connecting Deir Dibwan with the nearby village of Rammoun and prevented residents from passing through.
As a result, all entrances and exits to the town were effectively closed, restricting residents' movement.
