Over 20 Palestinians, Activists Reported Wounded by Israeli Settler Attacks in West Bank Throughout Weekend

[Nanjeanne]

Im fucking sick of this shit. I have friends and family left in Israel who volunteer as protectors. The Israeli government is out of control and the support for this fascist rule by thugs is something I will never condone.

More than 20 people were reported wounded in attacks across multiple West Bank communities, as witnesses said Israeli security forces failed to stop several of the assaults. 'People are afraid to go to their lands alone,' a Palestinian man whose village was attacked said.


Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and Israeli human rights activists in a series of incidents across the West Bank over the weekend, leaving over 20 wounded, according to Palestinian reports.

On Friday morning, masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinians and Israeli activists in farmlands near the West Bank village of Abu Falah, throwing stones and spraying tear gas. According to local reports, six people – including one Palestinian and five activists – were wounded. Witnesses said the Israeli settlers blocked Red Crescent teams from reaching the wounded for about an hour.

Israeli settlers set fire to a café at the entrance to Al-Zaytouna University in the village of Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, in the West Bank, according to Palestinian media reports.
The head of the village's council and owner of the restaurant, Yaqub Owais, told the Palestinian news agency WAFA that settlers broke into the restaurant, smashed its doors and stole money before setting fire to the building, while the IDF did not intervene.
He estimates that the damage is around 1 million shekels ($330,000).

Israeli Government Approves $9M Plan to Expand West Bank Hotel Industry

Last month, Haaretz reported that, despite objections from military officials, Israeli settlers diverted water used by Palestinian farmers, seized an archaeological site in the Jordan Valley and turned an ancient pool near the settlement of Petza'el into an informal tourist attraction with the backing of government officials.

The settlers cleaned and renovated the site, likely redirecting water from infrastructure serving the nearby Palestinian village of Fasayil to refill the pool. The work was carried out without authorization from the Civil Administration official responsible for archaeological sites in the West Bank.
Earlier this year, Haaretz found that after settlers displaced about 120 Bedouin families from the West Bank community of Ras Ein al-Auja, a nearby nature reserve was transformed into a popular tourist destination.
