Settler attack on West Bank village injures Israeli forces, drawing rare rebuke
The raid came amid mounting international criticism of settler violence, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu downplayed last week.
On Tuesday morning, a group of over 100 Israeli settlers launched an assault on the Palestinian village of Jalud in the West Bank, resulting in injuries to three Israeli security personnel. The violent attack drew strong condemnations from both the United States and the Israeli government.
This incident occurred amid growing international criticism of the escalating settler violence in the region. Just last week, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had downplayed the severity of the issue.
The settlers targeted the village of Jalud while the Israeli military was attempting to escort a displaced Palestinian family back to their home. The family had previously been displaced by settler attacks two months prior.
