Palestinian Injured as Israeli Settlers Attack West Bank Village
(MENAFN) Israeli settlers stormed the Palestinian village of Jalud in the northern West Bank on Monday under military escort, assaulting residents and triggering violent clashes, local and medical sources reported.
Settlers attacked Palestinians with stones and physical beatings in Jalud, located south of Nablus, local sources told media. The assault sparked confrontations involving dozens of Palestinian residents. Witnesses stated that Israeli army forces were deployed around the village perimeter throughout the attack, providing active protection to the settlers. Medical sources confirmed one Palestinian was hospitalized after being beaten during the assault.
According to Palestinian data, approximately 750,000 Israeli settlers currently reside across 141 illegal settlements and 224 outposts in the occupied West Bank, including 250,000 settlers in 15 settlements in occupied East Jerusalem.
Mounting Toll Since October 2023
Since the Gaza war erupted on October 8, 2023, combined Israeli army and settler attacks across the West Bank have killed at least 1,154 Palestinians, wounded approximately 11,750 others, and resulted in the detention of nearly 22,000 people, according to Palestinian figures.
The violence extends well beyond physical assaults. Documented incidents also encompass widespread vandalism, demolition of homes and civilian infrastructure, forced displacement of Palestinian communities, and accelerating settlement expansion across the West Bank and East Jerusalem — territories the United Nations formally recognizes as occupied Palestinian land.
Palestinians warn that the cumulative effect of these actions is laying the groundwork for Israel's formal annexation of the occupied West Bank, a move they say would permanently extinguish the prospect of an independent Palestinian state as mandated under UN resolutions.
The broader historical context dates to 1948, when Israel was established on lands seized during operations by Zionist armed groups that carried out massacres and displaced at least 750,000 Palestinians — with Israel subsequently occupying the remaining Palestinian territories while refusing to withdraw or permit the creation of a Palestinian state.
