West Bank Palestinians Fight to Preserve Their Homes

Originally Published 2 years ago — by PBS NewsHour

As the conflict between Hamas and Israel continues in Gaza, Palestinians in the West Bank are facing violence and displacement from extreme Israeli settlers. Settlers have been harassing and attacking Palestinian villagers, forcing them to flee their homes. The settlers have cut off essential resources, destroyed property, and instilled fear in the Palestinian communities. The Israeli government's response has been criticized for not adequately protecting Palestinians, and there are concerns that the displacement of Palestinian communities is closing the path to a two-state solution.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Haaretz

Israeli settlers, accompanied by soldiers, broke into Palestinian homes in the West Bank villages of Tuba and El-Abid, stealing equipment and intimidating residents. The invasions were recorded, with videos showing settlers searching storage closets while soldiers filmed. Israeli activists called the police multiple times, but they did not respond. Settler violence is common in the south Hebron Hills, with previous incidents of attacks on Palestinian villages. The IDF has yet to respond to inquiries about the armed settler and the soldiers' inaction.
