Two Palestinians sustained injuries Saturday after settlers attacked them with beatings near the Eimek Dotan settlement, positioned on land belonging to the town of Aradah in the southern Jenin region, Shehab Wire reported. The incident marked another in a pattern of settler violence targeting Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
The settlement of Eimek Dotan sits on territory claimed by the Palestinian community in Aradah. Settler attacks on Palestinians in areas near Israeli settlements have become frequent occurrences, with incidents ranging from property damage to physical assault. Saturday's attack added to mounting tensions in the Jenin governorate, where land disputes between Palestinian residents and Israeli settlers remain a persistent source of conflict.
