Settler Rampage in Huwara: 9 Palestinians Wounded, IDF Soldier Filmed Beating Palestinians Alongside Settlers

Israeli settlers attacked Huwara, south of Nablus in the West Bank, on June 6, 2026, wounding nine Palestinians. Surveillance footage captured an IDF soldier in full military gear beating two Palestinian men alongside settlers — a documented instance of IDF troops joining rather than restraining settler violence. The IDF said the soldier's actions were 'serious and inconsistent with IDF values' and that the soldier would face disciplinary proceedings. The Huwara attack is the latest in an uninterrupted pattern of West Bank settler violence documented throughout 2026, occurring the day after settlers attacked the village of Idhna in the Hebron governorate. IDF Central Command Chief Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth warned on May 1 that settler violence constitutes 'Jewish terror' — yet videos of soldiers participating in the violence continue to emerge.
