Settler Attacks Reportedly Surge on Palestinians in the West Bank
- On Tuesday , dozens of masked Israeli settlers launched an arson attack in the occupied West Bank, damaging Beit Lid, Deir Sharaf and the Al-Juneidi dairy factory and injuring four Palestinians.
- Since mid-October, settler violence has surged during the olive harvest season, with U.N. agencies reporting at least 264 attacks in October, the highest monthly tally recorded.
- The Israel Defense Forces said it dispatched soldiers to the area, security forces used riot dispersal means, and Israeli police arrested four Israeli suspects for questioning.
- Footage obtained by CNN shows a cargo truck bearing the Al-Juneidi dairy factory's logo completely torched with thick black smoke, while Palestinian civil defence arrived about an hour later and the Palestinian Red Crescent treated three people beaten.
- The West Bank hosts 2.7 million Palestinians and around half a million Israeli settlers, while successive Israeli governments have expanded settlements that the United Nations and most countries consider illegal.
