Dozens of settlers, accompanied by Israeli forces have stormed the Palestinian town of Kifl Haris in the Salfit governorate, Al Jazeera reports.

Local sources told the Wafa news agency the Israeli settlers entered the town last night to perform Talmudic rituals at Islamic shrines. During the incursion, settlers attacked residents’ homes and vehicles causing significant damage.

Earlier, Israeli forces raided the town and shut the iron gate at its entrance, forcing shop owners to close their businesses and restricting residents’ movement for the settlers’ entry.
