"A group of Palestinians were picnicking in the Burak Sulayman (Solomon's Pools) area, south of Bethlehem, but were forced to leave after Israeli forces fired stun grenades at them. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society treated two people for tear gas inhalation and evacuated five others from the scene after the attack. In the town of Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem, the mayor, Taysir Abu Mufreh, told Wafa that Israeli forces fired tear gas and sound bombs at a group of worshippers who were leaving a local mosque and locked a number of them inside."
Israeli settlers launched raids across the occupied West Bank, attacking Palestinians and damaging property. In Khirbet Shuweika south of Hebron, a man and his child were attacked with sharp instruments and taken to hospital for head injuries. In al-Lubban Asharqiya south of Nablus, settlers torched a home and Palestinian Civil Defence extinguished the blaze. In Abu Falah northeast of Ramallah, settlers stormed village outskirts, burned a vehicle, and wrote racist slogans on house walls. In al-Asa'asa near Jenin, Israeli forces forced residents to exhume a newly buried body and move it, claiming the original site was too close to an illegal settlement. Additional incidents included theft of a mobile phone in Beit Fajjar, dispersal of picnickers near Solomon’s Pools with stun grenades, and tear gas and sound bombs fired at worshippers in Tuqu, with some locked inside. Israeli forces arrested four men in Battir and three more in Nablus.
