| Israel-Palestine

Israeli settlers carried out a wave of attacks across the occupied West Bank before dawn on Tuesday, September 22, 2026. More than 200 settlers, under the protection of Israeli soldiers, attacked the outskirts of al-Mazra'a ash-Sharqiya, east of Ramallah, damaging at least four vehicles and two homes before residents forced them to withdraw. In a separate incident, dozens of settlers accompanied by a large Israeli military force stormed Silwad, northeast of Ramallah, and seized dozens of livestock belonging to three residents -- Abdul-Alim Abdullah Hammad, Ismael Afif Hammad and Ata Mahmoud Hammad -- while damaging property at several homes; Silwad Mayor Raed Hamed said the settlers entered via an unpaved agricultural road near Ayoun al-Haramiyah. Separately in Yatta, south of Hebron, colonizers assaulted women and children at the Mos'ef family home and attempted to drive sheep into the courtyard to seize the property, after which Israeli forces detained resident Rami Issa Mos'ef.
