Breaking News: Record Settler Attacks Escalate Tensions in West Bank
Israeli settlers have launched a wave of violent attacks across the West Bank, sparking widespread outrage and straining Israeli unity. Dozens of men were seen arriving for prayers at the Hamida Mosque in Deir Istiya on Friday, despite the mosque being vandalized by settlers on Thursday.
The attack, which included charred furniture and smoky carpets, was described by the mosque's imam, Ahmad Salman, as a message from Jewish settlers that they can reach anywhere and target civilians. A scrawled message on the mosque's exterior wall, addressed to Israel's regional military chief, read: "We will not be stopped."
The attacks come as tensions between Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents in the West Bank continue to escalate. The Israeli government has faced criticism for failing to adequately address the issue, with some calling for greater action to protect Palestinian communities.
The current situation remains volatile, with fears of further violence and retaliation. Israeli security forces are on high alert, but the full extent of the situation is still unclear. This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
