Settler attack on West Bank village escalates violence

Masked Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of at-Tuwani on July 19, setting fire to homes, a mosque, and a factory. A pregnant woman miscarried after the attack, residents said. The assault is part of a surge in settler violence, with the UN documenting an average of six incidents daily causing casualties or damage in the first five months of 2025. Villagers vow to stay despite the escalating campaign.
