West Bank: Settlers Attack Christian Taybeh as Violence Surges

Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank, setting fields on fire and reportedly firing at homes, with no injuries reported; the assault follows repeated attacks linked to a nearby settlement. A UN Independent Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory documents a sharp escalation in settler violence, noting 7 Palestinians killed and 832 wounded in 2025 and at least 50 killed since Oct 2023 (15 this year), accusing Israeli authorities of enabling the violence and urging steps to dismantle settlements.

West Bank violence networks sanctioned by UK and allies

Britain, Australia, Canada, France and Norway sanctioned six entities and one individual accused of financing, enabling, and carrying out violence by Jewish settlers in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, signaling a move to hold perpetrators accountable and, for the first time, advise against economic activity in illegal settlements; France also banned far-right Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich and several settler leaders. Israel condemned the measures, while the Palestinians welcomed them. The sanctions follow a surge in West Bank violence since late 2023, with the UN tallying 1,835 settler attacks in 2025 causing seven Palestinian deaths and 832 injuries across about 280 communities, amid continued settlement expansion under Netanyahu’s government.

West Bank commander defends looser fire rules amid rising Palestinian deaths

Israel’s top West Bank commander Avi Bluth defends looser engagement rules and a discriminatory approach toward Palestinians, claiming deaths are at levels not seen since 1967, as UN data show over a thousand Palestinians killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since Oct 2023; the piece also highlights settler violence and outposts, and a government grant to settlers that Peace Now says expands settlements, drawing criticism and calls to fire Bluth.

West Bank school attack kills 14-year-old as settler violence escalates

A 14-year-old Palestinian student, Aws al-Naasan, was killed outside Mughayyir’s boys’ school by an Israeli reservist amid a wave of settler violence in the occupied West Bank that has targeted schools; the killings come as settlers raze a nearby village school and block access to education, with UN agencies warning of a broader pattern of attacks and displacement, while the Israeli military says the shooter acted after stones were thrown and troops were not present.

Ex-Mossad Chief Warns West Bank Violence Echoes Holocaust, Threatens Israeli Stability

Tamir Pardo, a former Mossad chief, told Channel 13 that settler violence in the occupied West Bank echoes the Holocaust, condemning inaction by authorities and warning it could threaten Israel’s stability or spark a civil crisis. He noted support for settlers from high-level ministers and invoked Leibowitz’s warnings about occupation corroding society. The article highlights intensified violence since Oct 2023, including Palestinian deaths from settlers, mass displacement in the West Bank, and thousands of violent incidents alongside numerous fatalities since Hamas’s 2023 attacks.

The move, announced about 48 hours after CNN’s report, underscores growing concerns about settler violence and the IDF’s response.
