In a recent incident in the northern West Bank, Israeli settlers forced Palestinians to exhume the bodies of their relatives from newly buried graves near the Sanur settlement. This occurred despite an advance agreement for the funeral with the Israeli military. The settlers, armed with digging tools, claimed the graves were too close to the settlement and insisted on relocating the bodies, leading to a confrontation where Israeli troops were deployed to manage the situation. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that they confiscated equipment from the settlers and condemned the incident.
Additionally, there were reports of violent attacks by settlers against Palestinians in other areas of the West Bank, including an attack on a man and his son that resulted in injuries. Critics have accused the Israeli government of neglecting violence from settlers, describing it as a rise in “Jewish terrorism.” The IDF acknowledged a significant increase in nationalist crimes and settler violence.
