RAMALLAH, November 14, 2026 (WAFA) – Israeli occupation forces detained a young Palestinian man on Saturday evening following an attack by colonists near the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah, according to a local official.

Mayor of Silwad Raed Hamed told WAFA that colonists attacked a young man near the iron gate erected between Silwad and the neighboring village of Deir Jarir. Israeli occupation forces subsequently raided the area and detained the young man, whose identity remains unknown.

In a related incident, Hamed said that colonists attacked olive pickers in the Wadi al-Zaytoun area, west of the village, took the keys to their vehicle and their mobile phones, and stole their olive harvest.

Silwad and other villages and towns east of Ramallah continue to face repeated attacks by colonists, alongside daily raids by Israeli occupation forces.
