Palestinian man says Israeli settlers sexually assaulted him in front of his family
Dozens of masked Israeli settlers assaulted a Palestinian Bedouin community, sexually attacking a man and stealing 400 sheep, amid rising settler violence since Israel's 2023 Gaza war.
- On March 13, Suhaib Abu Kbash said around 80 masked settlers raided the Bedouin community of Humsah and stole 400 sheep essential to the community's livelihood.
- Amid a near‑daily rise in attacks, rights groups reported Israeli settlers commit burnings, beatings and livestock theft, with a spike since late‑February strikes on Iran, B'Tselem said.
- Three eyewitnesses corroborated Suhaib Abu Kbash's account that about 20 attackers beat him, stripped him, bound his genitals with zip ties, and threatened women and children.
- Israeli police arrested seven suspects and dispatched forces to Humsah as the investigation proceeded under a court‑issued gag order, while a complainant said his livestock complaint went unanswered.
- Given low indictment rates, analysts say accountability concerns persist as Yesh Din reports only two percent of settler violence cases lead to indictments, while most countries view settlement activity as illegal, complicating Palestinians seeking an independent state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem.
