Overview
- Settler attacks resumed Sunday night across West Bank villages near Nablus and Jenin, with medics reporting at least 9 Palestinians injured and one man shot in the foot in Deir al-Hatab.
- The violence followed the funeral of 18-year-old settler Yehuda Sherman, whose death in a collision with a Palestinian vehicle is under police investigation for possible intent.
- Saturday night’s first wave struck at least six communities, where residents and reporters documented homes and cars set on fire and damage to clinics and schools, including arson at a medical center in Jalud.
- Israel’s military said it deployed troops and condemned the attacks, and later reported the arrest of five Israeli citizens as investigations expanded.
- Activists and Israeli outlets highlighted WhatsApp calls urging coordinated “revenge,” while rights groups and UN data point to a sharp rise in West Bank settler violence since October 2023 that has left Palestinian communities facing recurring arson, road assaults, and disrupted access to care.
