Settlers attack 2 West Bank villages; family abandons home after weekslong siege
IDF confirms settler arson attacks in Turmus Ayya and Jalud, but no arrests made; journalists said blocked by settlers from accessing besieged home in Jalud, despite troop escort
Israeli settler extremists conducted arson attacks in two West Bank villages, Turmus Ayya and Jalud, overnight Tuesday-Wednesday. In Jalud, settlers set fire to chicken coops near a Palestinian home, leading the Tobasi family to abandon their residence after weeks of harassment. The IDF confirmed both attacks, noting no injuries and no arrests. Troops used riot dispersal means in Turmus Ayya during a confrontation between Palestinians and Israeli civilians. Separately, Border Police reportedly blocked two journalists from accessing Jalud, despite prior clearance, after intervention from settlers. The UN's OCHA reported over 2,200 Palestinians displaced this year due to settler violence or access restrictions.
