Israeli forces demolish homes in West Bank as EU considers settlement goods ban

Israeli forces have intensified actions in the occupied West Bank, demolishing homes in Birzeit and Nablus while settlers attacked Palestinians in the village of Burqa. The demolitions were justified by the military on the grounds of lacking building permits. Witnesses reported settlers entering Burqa, clashing with residents, attempting to set vehicles on fire, and stealing livestock. The violence coincides with a European Union meeting discussing potential sanctions on goods from illegal Israeli settlements.
