Settler Violence Continues Second Night Across West Bank Villages

Israeli settler violence continued for a second consecutive night across the occupied West Bank. Attacks were reported in multiple villages including Silat al-Dahr and Fandaqumiya near Jenin, and additional attacks in the Salfit and Nablus governorates. Israeli bulldozers were filmed uprooting olive trees across multiple days in Nilin along the separation wall, while in Huwara, more than 100 dunams containing over 1,500 olive trees were bulldozed. Settlers blocked entry gates to Palestinian communities, preventing normal movement. WAFA reported ongoing arson of agricultural land. The pattern of attacks drew comparison to the major Huwara pogrom of 2023. UN experts characterized the settler mobs as 'state-backed terror squads' operating at the forefront of Israel's ethnic cleansing and annexation policy.
