US EditionIsraeli Settlers Attack West Bank Christian Village
WEST BANK VILLAGE OF TAYBEH, PALESTINE, JUL 27 – Israeli police launched an investigation after settlers set fire to vehicles and spray-painted graffiti in Taybeh, part of 757 settler attacks reported this year, a 19% increase, UN data shows.
- In the early hours of July 28, 2025, Israeli settlers launched an attack on Taybeh, a predominantly Christian Palestinian community in the West Bank, setting vehicles ablaze and leaving threatening graffiti on walls.
- The attack followed a pattern of escalating settler violence amid disputed land claims dating back to Israel's control of the West Bank in 1967, with rising tensions and a 19% increase in settler incidents this year.
- Settlers hurled rocks at residential buildings and tried to ignite a house before retreating as young Palestinians came out to defend their village; meanwhile, Israeli police sent a unit that found two Palestinian vehicles burned and graffiti stating, "Al-Mughayyir, you will regret."
- U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee called the attack an "act of terror," Christian leaders condemned the violence, and German Ambassador Steffen Seibert labeled extremist settlers criminals, highlighting international concern over settler actions.
- The incident worsens fears of Palestinian displacement as attacks aim to terrorize residents into fleeing, sparking calls for independent investigations amid questions about Israeli government support for settler violence.
