Israeli settlers attack Palestinians in their own homes
Terror has prevailed over the West Bank streets and towns as the settlers’ attacks against Palestinians have been on the rise since early 2021.
In the predawn hours of Feb. 5, an Israeli settler working as a guard at the Sadeh Ephraim Farm outpost near Ramallah shot dead Khaled Maher Nofal, 34, on the hilltop of Mount al-Risan, just outside the Palestinian village of Ras Karkar. According to Israeli accounts, Khaled, a resident of Ras Karkar, had stormed the outpost and attacked one of the settlers before he was shot.
In the past weeks, the streets, villages and towns of the West Bank have turned into arenas of real terror and fear, with daily assaults by settlers against Palestinians, whether in their vehicles, on the streets or in their homes.
