Settler attack on West Bank village injures Israeli forces, drawing rare rebuke

On Tuesday, more than 100 settlers clashed with IDF soldiers and Border Police near the Palestinian village of Jalud in the West Bank, blocking roads and attacking a convoy escorting the Tubasi family, forcing them to remain displaced.
The Tubasi family previously fled their home in July following months of settler harassment. They attempted a return under an Israeli court decision, but settlers allegedly set two of their homes ablaze, according to Anadolu.
Rioters hurled rocks at security forces and set tires on fire during the confrontation. Three Border Police officers sustained light injuries, and a security vehicle was damaged, prompting the IDF to withdraw and detain two suspects.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the 'violent riots' and attacks on security forces, stating this 'handful of rioters' does not represent the law-abiding settler community in Judea and Samaria and causes it 'immense harm.'
Isaac Herzog called the attack 'an extremely grave act' and 'a moral stain,' reflecting broader patterns of Palestinian communities in the West Bank being forced from their homes due to settler harassment.
