Israeli settlers have intensified violence in the occupied West Bank, launching arson attacks on Palestinian villages near Bethlehem and Hebron, resulting in significant property damage but no reported casualties. In al-Jaba, settlers torched homes and vehicles, while in Sa’ir, they assaulted civilians under Israeli military protection. The Palestinian Authority reported 2,350 such attacks last month, amid escalating tensions linked to Israel’s settlement expansion. Despite government condemnation of the violence, officials continue to support settlement development, raising concerns from human rights groups.
