Israeli Settler Militias Escalate Attacks Under Military Protection
Israeli settler militias, operating under the protection of occupation forces, ramped up their assaults across multiple areas of the occupied West Bank over 24 hours. The wave of violence included killings, injuries, theft of property, the burning of farmland, and attacks on Palestinian homes and belongings. The escalation coincided with a mass incursion into Al-Aqsa Mosque, as part of a broader campaign to impose new realities on the ground and push Palestinian residents out of their communities.

In the Jenin governorate, settlers stole a caravan belonging to a Palestinian resident in the town of Anza, south of the city. Rights monitors say such incidents form part of an ongoing campaign by occupation forces and settler militias targeting Palestinian residents, farmland, and property, while expanding outposts and tightening control across the West Bank.
