US EditionFive Days After Building Outpost on Edge of West Bank Village, Settlers Drove Locals Out
- On May 18, 2025, a group of Israeli settlers set up an unauthorized settlement near the Palestinian community of Maghayer Al-Dir, leading many local residents to start evacuating their homes.
- This event followed ongoing settler violence aimed at displacing Palestinian communities, including multiple attacks and property destruction reported this month.
- Settlers repeatedly attacked Palestinians and their properties across the West Bank, burning 40 dunams of wheat fields, uprooting 70 olive trees, and cutting water supplies under army protection.
