In the villages of Masafer Yatta, southeast of Hebron, Palestinians have established rotating night patrols to guard against settler incursions, the Palestine News Network reported. Residents take turns monitoring their communities after dark, when tensions with Israeli settlers typically escalate in the area.
The practice reflects deepening security concerns in Masafer Yatta, where Palestinian communities face ongoing pressure from settlement expansion and related conflicts over land access and village safety.
