Beit Furik Raid
Israeli settlers, accompanied by soldiers, entered the eastern district of Beit Furik near Nablus and attacked residents who protested the incursion. Three Palestinians were injured after being beaten, WAFA reported. The raid is part of a pattern of increased settler violence across the West Bank since the start of Israel's assault on Gaza in October 2023.
Tuba Home Burnings
In Masafer Yatta south of Hebron, settlers assaulted the village of Tuba and set fire to homes. The blazes caused smoke inhalation among residents, including women and children, according to Palestinian media. No fatalities were immediately reported, but damage was extensive.
West Bank Toll Since October 2023
Palestinian official figures show that since October 2023, more than 1,182 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers. Approximately 13,000 have been wounded, and nearly 24,000 detained. The latest incidents add to the toll, highlighting the surge in violence beyond the Gaza Strip.
What's Next
Israeli authorities have not commented on the latest attacks, but settler violence typically continues without accountability. Palestinian leaders are expected to raise the issue at the UN Security Council, though prospects for international action remain slim.
