Escalation: Settlers Intensify Violence After Death of Teen

After a settler was killed in a car incident on Saturday, groups of Israeli settlers carried out reprisal attacks across the West Bank that night. More than 20 attacks hit Palestinian towns and villages. At least 11 Palestinians were injured, and dozens of vehicles and buildings were set on fire; videos showed assailants running through streets, attacking homes and burning cars.

Israel’s army chief condemned the surge in nationalist violence in the West Bank as morally and ethically unacceptable and said it endangers residents and stability, urging all authorities to act. The night of attacks left widespread arson and damage across more than 20 communities in a single evening.
