Do Jewish parents know what their children are doing in the West Bank?

Videos of Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians, while soldiers stand idle or join in on the violence, demand a reckoning in Jewish homes

Do Jewish parents know what their children are doing in the West Bank?

A Palestinian family was attacked by masked Jewish rioters who claimed to be IDF soldiers in their home near Kusra in the West Bank on Tuesday morning, according to a report by KAN News. The attackers knocked on the door around 3 a.m., grabbed the father, and began beating him with sticks and rocks. The mother and two teenage daughters tried to intervene and were also beaten.

The family was taken to a hospital in Nablus for treatment after the incident. Police were called multiple times about the attack, and a military presence was noted in the area. The IDF s Central Command had announced preparations ahead of the Palestinian olive harvest in the West Bank, citing concerns over settler extremist violence and terrorism, as the harvest season is considered a sensitive security period.
