"Israeli Settler Violence Escalates: U.N. Demands Action, Pro-Palestinian Demonstrators Protest"

Israeli settlers rampaged through Palestinian villages near Ramallah, killing at least two Palestinians and burning homes and vehicles in retaliation for the death of a 14-year-old Israeli shepherd. The Israeli military attributed the shepherd's death to a "terrorist attack." Settler violence has increased in the West Bank, with little effort from the Israeli Defense Forces to stop the attacks. The Biden administration imposed sanctions on individual settlers connected to attacks on Palestinians, but the assaults have continued, leaving a trail of destruction and loss for Palestinian families.
