Settlers carried out a series of coordinated assaults on Palestinians and their property Wednesday dawn across multiple locations throughout the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, Shehab Wire reported. The attacks occurred under direct military protection from Israeli occupation forces, underscoring a pattern of intensifying settler violence that has targeted civilian residents and their belongings in recent weeks.
The incidents unfolded as settler attacks have grown more frequent and aggressive across Palestinian communities in the territories. Israeli forces provided security cover for the assailants during the operations, facilitating their movement and preventing intervention by Palestinian residents defending their homes and land.
