Israeli settlers engaged in a violent assault on a small Palestinian community in the West Bank, resulting in injuries, home destruction, and power source damage, according to residents and the military. The incident occurred in Khirbet al-Tuba, where AFP journalists witnessed buildings ablaze and graffiti in Hebrew defacing remaining structures.
The settlers targeted the community's sole power source, smashing 12 solar panels that provided electricity to the isolated southern settlement. The Israeli military unequivocally condemned the raid, stating that they responded after receiving reports of homes being set on fire and Palestinians being attacked by Israeli civilians late Wednesday.
Among the several Palestinians who sustained injuries were a girl and a woman. The military reported that structures were burned, but the perpetrators had fled before forces arrived.
