Israeli Settlers Beat Palestinian Woman in Sa'ir, Attack Farmers Near Halhoul — West Bank

On Saturday, April 19, Israeli settlers beat a Palestinian woman in Sa'ir village near Hebron, and separately, Israeli security forces stopped Palestinians from reaching their farmland in Halhoul (south of Hebron) after settlers reportedly pepper-sprayed local farmers working their land. The incidents were part of ongoing settler violence that escalated during the Iran war period, with settlers becoming 'increasingly emboldened' according to Palestinian rights organizations. IDF said it was 'looking into the matter' but made no arrests by evening.
