Israeli settlers burn vehicles, vandalize mosque near Ramallah in West Bank

Israeli settlers have recently escalated attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank, including arson and vandalism. In Al-Mughayyir, northeast of Ramallah, settlers set fire to three Palestinian vehicles before being confronted and driven away by residents, with Israeli forces subsequently entering the village. Similar attacks include the destruction of solar panels and carpets at a mosque in Khirbet Tana et-Tahta near Nablus and the theft of olive harvests from Palestinian farmers. These incidents are part of a broader pattern of settler violence amid ongoing Israeli military operations and political developments, with over 7,000 documented assaults against Palestinians and their properties in the past two years. The violence has resulted in numerous casualties, injuries, and displacements, intensifying humanitarian concerns despite a ceasefire in Gaza. These attacks coincide with increased tensions surrounding West Bank annexation and have drawn international criticism regarding the legality of Israeli occupation and settlement activities.
