NABLUS, October 18, 2026 (WAFA) — Israeli colonists attacked a home near the town of Beita, south of Nablus, on Sunday evening, while Israeli occupation forces detained its owner.

Local sources reported that the colonists cut the electricity pole supplying the home, cut down olive trees around it, smashed a vehicle, and dumped rubbish nearby.
