Israeli forces raided Palestinian civil society organisations and the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, confiscating files and equipment and detaining people, prompting the UN to call on Israel to stop its 'crackdown on Palestinian civic space.' Separately, the IDF and Shin Bet raided two West Bank charities they allege served as fronts for the PFLP, while settlers reportedly set fire to a mosque and a car in a West Bank village, and another mosque near occupied East Jerusalem was attacked by settlers. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir warned of the 'potential for escalation' across all fronts, citing a 'sensitive period' combining the West Bank olive harvest season with the run-up to Israel's October 27 elections, and explicitly decried settler violence.
