West Bank Palestinians respond to Israeli attacks with resilience

In the village of at-Tuwani, 72-year-old Khadera Ima witnessed a violent attack by masked settlers on July 19, who set fire to local properties, including a mosque and homes, while her family and neighbors attempted to defend themselves. This incident is part of a broader pattern of escalating violence and displacement in the South Hebron Hills, where human rights groups report high rates of settler attacks and a lack of accountability. At-Tuwani and surrounding communities face ongoing threats from Israeli military policies and settlement expansions, leading to significant displacement.
