West Bank Settler Attacks Injure Dozens, Displace 30 Families

In the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, multiple incidents of violence and raids by Israeli settlers and forces have caused injuries and displacement among Palestinians. In Beita, south of Nablus, settlers attacked homes, attempted arson, and physically assaulted residents, leading to injuries and tear gas inhalation after Israeli forces stormed the town. Similar settler violence was reported in Khirbet al-Farisiyah and the Arab al-Mleihat Bedouin community, where families were forcibly displaced. In East Jerusalem's at-Tur neighborhood, Israeli snipers shot two young Palestinians during a family celebration, resulting in severe injuries and police detaining a family member while accusing the victims of aggression. Additionally, in Sebastia, northwest of Nablus, Israeli forces raided the town, injuring a 22-year-old man and imposing a curfew amid ongoing operations. These incidents reflect a broader pattern of escalating settler violence and military raids in the region, with human rights organizations documenting a sharp rise in such attacks since late 2023.
