Israeli settlers in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank raided the town of Sair, north of Hebron.
Eyewitnesses reported that Israelis in military uniforms attacked an area where Palestinians were gathered, forcibly seizing 300 small livestock.
The settlers caused damage to Palestinian property, destroying three caravans where families were staying and damaging water tanks.
They also assaulted several individuals and stole five mobile phones belonging to Palestinians.
In the occupied West Bank, approximately 451,000 Israelis and around 230,000 in East Jerusalem are involved in seizing Palestinian land.
These actions are considered illegal under international law.
