In nearby Sinjil, local sources said a group of armed settlers attacked the western part of the town, prompting residents to confront them. No injuries were recorded.

Further north, settlers were also reported to have attacked villages south of Nablus, including Jalud and Burin. In Jalud, stones were thrown at a family home, while in Burin, residents said settlers stormed the village entrance and fired live rounds during the confrontation.
