Amid muted Eid celebrations, violence surges across the West Bank
"As Muslims across the world marked Eid al-Fitr, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank have endured an outpouring of violence, with gates at community entrances blocked by Israeli settlers."
"Israeli authorities used the current conflict with Iran to justify the emptying of the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound of Muslim worshippers during Eid, reportedly for the first time since 1967."
"In the early hours of Sunday, approximately 100 masked settlers descended on the villages of Jalud and Qaryut, torching vehicles, setting fire to homes, and injuring a fire truck driver."
During Eid al-Fitr, Palestinians in the West Bank experienced violence and land seizures from Israeli settlers. Israeli authorities blocked access to Palestinian communities and used the conflict with Iran to justify the removal of worshippers from the Al-Aqsa Mosque. Settler violence peaked with attacks on villages, resulting in property destruction and injuries. The ongoing war has exacerbated the situation, with Palestinian communities enduring increased movement restrictions and violence despite the broader conflict.
