West Bank: Israeli settlers torch homes, beat Palestinians
"Israeli settlers have carried out more violent attacks on Palestinian areas in the West Bank on Saturday, burning buildings, homes and vehicles, and beating and pepper spraying Palestinians attempting to stop them."
"The Palestinian Red Crescent says at least three Palestinians were hospitalized after Saturday's attacks, with local authorities adding that property damage across the territory was significant."
"The Israeli military said soldiers were deployed to a number of Palestinian villages in response to reports of civilians carrying out arson against structures and property."
"Rights groups have accused Israel of failing to protect Palestinians and their property in the West."
Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian areas in the West Bank, burning buildings and vehicles, and injuring individuals during Eid al-Fitr. The violence has escalated recently amid Israel's settlement expansion and military actions. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported at least three hospitalizations due to the attacks, which affected six communities near Jenin and Nablus. The Israeli military deployed soldiers in response to reported arson by civilians but made no arrests. Rights groups criticized Israel for not protecting Palestinians and their property from settler violence.
