Recent violence in the West Bank saw armed Israeli settlers attacking two Palestinian villages, resulting in three deaths and significant destruction. The incident reflects an alarming trend of increasing settler violence, with reports indicating a 30% rise in crimes against Palestinians in early 2025. The Israeli Defense Forces confirmed they responded to clashes but faced allegations of excessive force, as they became involved after settlers attacked villages. This latest episode highlights the escalating tensions and ongoing strife between Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents.
The settlers attacked the village around 7 p.m. armed with M-16 rifles and molotov cocktails, burning cars and trying to set homes ablaze.
The IDF stated that they were attacked by rocks and a source of fire from within the village, which prompted them to respond with live ammunition.
