High Court orders return of Palestinian families driven out by settlers

The High Court has ordered the return of Palestinian families who were driven out by settlers. According to Haaretz, the court questioned the actions of soldiers and police in the matter, specifically why soldiers were filmed playing soccer with settlers who seized homes and why police failed to arrest suspects identified in attack footage.

A separate incident occurred in the occupied West Bank, where Jewish settlers shot and killed a Palestinian man in Hajeh village, east of Qalqilya, as reported by Middle East Eye. The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death and reported that several people were wounded in the incident.

The High Court has also made a ruling in a separate case, dismissing a petition by Israeli expatriates seeking to vote in the October 27 election, as reported by the Jerusalem Post. The petition was filed by around 100 expatriate Israelis who were excluded from the voter rolls under an Interior Ministry classification. The court dismissed the petition on procedural grounds, stating that it was filed too late and that the petitioners had not used the available appeals process.
