Story summary

On Tuesday, more than 100 Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Jalud south of Nablus in the northern West Bank, preventing a family from returning home after an Israeli court ordered them back following nearly two months of forced displacement. The Tubasi family’s homes were set on fire, and Israeli forces provided protection but could not stop the violence; three Border Police officers were injured. Settlers blocked access roads with rocks and hurled stones at security forces. This attack drew rare condemnation from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu amid growing international criticism of settler violence.
