The Israeli army has continued to raid the town of Bruqin in the occupied West Bank in search of a gunman who killed a settler on Wednesday, even as other settlers carry out attacks in towns and cities across the territory.

For the third consecutive day on Friday, Bruqin faced a massive incursion by the Israeli army, which occupied four buildings and converted them into military barracks.

Mayor Fayed Sabra told Middle East Eye that the Israeli army brought 13 bulldozers to the town on Thursday morning and was continuing to level open areas adjacent to homes, claiming they were being converted into military zones.
