Israel Prepares Major Military Operation in West Bank After Four Palestinians and Two Israelis Killed
The military said it will send reinforcements and go after dozens of people after six were killed in clashes, officials said.
- On Friday, a violent clash near the Palestinian village of Tell left six dead, prompting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to order the military to accelerate settlement establishment and legalization in the West Bank.
- Clashes erupted after a group of settlers entered an area restricted to Israeli civilians for an unauthorized hike near Tell, resulting in an exchange of fire that killed four Palestinians and two Israeli soldiers.
- Settler attacks have escalated in nearby towns including Faraata, where the Palestinian Red Crescent reported eight people injured on Friday, with residents documenting settlers setting fires and calling for "revenge."
- The Palestinian Authority condemned the settler attacks while accusing Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz of accelerating settlement establishment and legalization in the West Bank.
- Demanding "urgent action," United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Ramiz Alakbarov urged Israel to protect Palestinian communities and hold those responsible for violence accountable.
