Grave clash: Palestinian family exhumed relative after settlers contest land near Sa-Nur

Grave clash: Palestinian family exhumed relative after settlers contest land near Sa-Nur

In the northern West Bank, a Palestinian family burying 80‑year‑old Hussein Asasa was interrupted by armed men from the nearby Sa‑Nur settlement who demanded the grave be exhumed, claiming the land near the settlement. The Israeli military surrounded the site, confiscated digging tools, and helped relocate the body to a nearby cemetery after the family chose to exhume it themselves rather than use a bulldozer. The incident, linked to Israel’s 2025 reauthorization of Sa‑Nur and ongoing West Bank tensions, highlights the rising influence of settlers and the military’s handling of such intrusions amid broader violence.

Palestinian Christian Activist Urges Global Solidarity Against West Bank Settler Attacks

Palestinian Christian rights activist Ihab Hassan tells Vatican News that Israeli settlers in the West Bank act with impunity, carrying out attacks on Palestinian communities (including Taybeh) with little accountability; with 16 Palestinians killed in the West Bank this year, he links violence to government policy and settlement expansion, and promotes the Save West Bank Christians initiative to mobilize global Christian solidarity pressuring authorities to stop the attacks.

West Bank commander says IDF is fighting with '1967-era' force

West Bank commander says IDF is fighting with '1967-era' force

Israel’s West Bank operations were described in leaked remarks by Maj. Gen. Avi Bluth as “killing like we haven’t killed since 1967,” including the shooting of 42 Palestinian stone-throwers and a justification of discriminatory military justice against Palestinians while settlers face different standards. He also cited a looser set of rules at the separation barrier (shooting suspects in the knee) to deter crossings and framed the conflict as a “survival of the fittest” struggle. The statements drew Haaretz criticism of apartheid-like practices, amid escalating settler violence; UN data say 230 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank in 2025.

West Bank teen killed as settler violence surges amid expansion push

Aws al-Nasaan, 14, was fatally shot near his school in Al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank, part of a spike in settler violence linked to settlement expansion; the attack, captured on video, also left others dead, and eyewitnesses say Israeli soldiers did not intervene. The IDF has suspended the reservist shooter and confiscated his weapon, while rights groups warn of rising violence and impunity, with UN data showing about 42 Palestinians killed this year as settlements expand and security crackdowns tighten restrictions on Palestinians.

Chornobyl at 40: Life, drones and wildlife in a contested radioactive zone

Forty years after the 1986 disaster, the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone remains hazardous but hosts scientists, elderly returnees and soldiers; drones and Russian activity persist in parts of the zone, while wildlife — including Przewalski's horses — flourishes and researchers monitor radiation to minimize exposure, preserving memory of those who died and the communities that have adapted to this paradoxical landscape.

Two Palestinians, including a 14-year-old, killed as settlers attack West Bank village

Two Palestinians were killed in al-Mughayyir village in the West Bank during an attack by Jewish settlers and Israeli soldiers. The victims included Aws al-Naasan, 14, and Jihad Abu Naim, 32. Palestinian officials blamed settler gunfire and alleged coordination with the Israeli army, while Israel said troops dispersed a violent confrontation after a report of stones thrown at an Israeli car. The incident fits a wider pattern of rising settler violence in 2026, with UN figures showing dozens killed, hundreds injured, and thousands displaced across the West Bank.
