On January 21, 2025, during the night, the violent extremists settler Shem Tov Luski and his father, Gadi Luski, attacked the village of Shkara south Hebron hills, in the occupied West Bank. They broke into a poultry farm south of the city of Yatta together with a settler wearing a uniform. There, they assaulted the farm’s workers and fired live ammunition at them and at the owner, who lives near the coops. Gadi Luski threatens with a weapon; Shem Tov Luski repeatedly punches and kicks until blood is drawn. They attacked residents including women and children. Six Palestinians were injured and evacuated to receive medical treatment at Beita Hospital. Israeli soldiers protected the attackers, fired live rounds into the air, and at least three cars were smashed. Israeli police forces concluded the incident by arresting four of the residents who were attacked, while the attackers continue to walk free. **Afermath, according to Masafering:** On Sunday, 22.6.25, Hebron police officers arrested Shem Tov and Gadi Lusky, owners of the ancient Susia outpost. Unusually - not only was the arrest made, but the apartheid regime's prosecutor's office decided to file charges against the two, who are still under house arrest outside their outpost. They are attributed with crimes of sabotage and aggravated injury, reaching a limit to commit a crime, and for good reason also a crime of simple assault. The indictment refers to the attack that took place two days before the arrest, which we published together with documentation in which a good name is seen hitting a man until he bleeds while his father Gadi threatens those around him with a weapon. What the prosecutor's office is not in a hurry to tell is that even in real time - during this incident, as in the other terrorist incidents in which the Lusky family members participated, they received assistance and complete immunity from the state bodies - a soldier in uniform who protected them while they were attacking and the police who came after the attack and arrested the Palestinians who were attacked. After all, the army, the police, and the judicial system are doing what is possible to allow reality to continue as it is, to use the violence of the Lusky family as another tool in order to carry out ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian residents of the area. It is not clear why the authorities decided to arrest Gadi and his son precisely after this incident, when the two are routinely involved in similar incidents. What is clear is that even when they are detained the authorities continue to assist and grant immunity to settlers from this outpost and others so that they continue the routine of daily attacks without interruption. https://x.com/masafering/status/1935000215951491194?t=U2jXo_hDhl7nF_czN_Gveg&s=19 **Threading Lusky events with the support of the authorities:** A few weeks ago, settlers including Shem Tov Lusky set up a tent in the middle of the village of Susia, where they stayed for days and nights during which they invaded private lands, beat residents, and chased the children of the village on their way to school and back. The authorities who arrived left them to continue their work Unroll available on Thread Reader A few days later, another tent was erected, also with the involvement of father and son Lusky, in another location near the village of Susia. Not only did the police do nothing against the attempt to establish another outpost, they also refused to help the residents when they were attacked, or blocked on their way home by their settlers. On 1.5.25 Shem Tov Lusky and other settlers tried to break into the house of the residents of the village of Khaldiya. Not only did the army do nothing to stop them, it arrested the owner of the house they were trying to break into, and kept him for hours cuffed and blindfolded in a military base. On 24.3.25 Shem Tov and other settlers attacked the residents of the village of Susia, including the director of the movie "There is no other country" Hamdan Belal. The police who arrived at the scene left the settlers to leave, when the army arrests Hamdan and two other residents, while they were injured. They were held at a military base where the soldiers continued to abuse them. On 12.2.25, according to the evidence, Shem Tov and Gadi Lusky together with other settlers invaded private lands in Wadi Rahim near Susia. Uniformed men who joined them attacked the landowners who came to demand that the invaders leave.

Tamra, a city of 37,400 where four women from one family were killed by a missile yesterday, has zero public shelters, while the Jewish town of Mitzpe Aviv (population 1,100) right next to it has 13. Footage circulated where Israelis celebrated as Iranian missiles struck the predominantly Palestinian Israeli town of Tamra. Four Palestinians from the same family were killed after a missile hit a residential building in the town.  *Ruins of the Khatib family home in which Manar Khatib, her two daughter and sister-in-law all died in two ‘safe rooms’ in the blast from an Iranian missile. Photograph: Quique Kierszenbaum/The Guardian* Many Palestinian citizens of Israel don’t have access to safe rooms or underground shelter, while Jewish Israelis do. This isn't neglect, it's deliberate. Iran’s missile strikes revealed the systemic discrimination faced by Palestinian citizens. The unequal response underscores Israel’s apartheid system, where Palestinians are treated as second-class citizens even in life-or-death situations. Tamra’s mayor, Mussa Abu Rumi, stated that the Israeli government has never built a single shelter in Arab towns, exposing racial inequality in civil defense infrastructure. Despite pledging loyalty to Israel, residents in Tamra feel neglected and unprotected, with rescue efforts left largely to locals. The mayor and others point to growing far-right influence in Israeli politics and systemic discrimination as root causes of such disparities. Ayman Odeh, Knesset member and friend of the victims, criticized the Netanyahu government, accusing it of exploiting conflict and ignoring the unresolved Palestinian issue. **Name of the victims:** Manar Al-Fakhri Khatib / Khatib Manar Al-Qassem Abu Al-Heija / Khatib Shatha Khatib Razan Khatib Hala Khatib

Israeli prison forces have launched a violent crackdown on Palestinian prisoners across several detention centers over the past few days, storming prison cells and beating detainees under the pretext that they were celebrating Iran’s retaliation attacks on Israel, according to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS). Israeli authorities, through a spokesperson for the Israel Prison Service (IPS)—the security unit responsible for managing Israeli prisons—have released footage showing prison guards taking disciplinary action against inmates who were seen cheering in support of Iran’s recent missile strikes. The video has sparked outrage and renewed concerns about the treatment of prisoners amid escalating regional tensions. During Shabbat, several incarcerated individuals, referred to as "terrorists" by Israeli authorities, were reportedly beaten and subjected to "disciplinary" measures after allegedly celebrating the rocket attacks targeting Israeli civilians. These actions were carried out following an order from National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir. In numerous Israeli detention facilities, Palestinian inmates were reportedly assaulted by prison forces, placed in solitary confinement, and stripped of various "privileges" under heightened security protocols. **An incitement article from Eliana Fleming on jfeed.com speak about one of an incident:** During a rocket barrage targeting Israeli civilian areas, Palestinian inmates in an Israeli prison were reported to have celebrated in "A central Israeli high-security facility". The Israel Prison Service, under Commissioner Kobi Yaakobi, deployed the elite Metzada unit to conduct a controlled raid. The inmates involved faced disciplinary hearings and punitive measures. **The perpetrators** The Metzada Unit (Hebrew: יחידת מצדה) is the tactical unit of the Israel Prison Service (IPS), tasked with arresting escaped prisoners, conducting hostage rescues, leading special operations and prison raids, managing prison riots, and providing VIP protection. It is one of five official hostage rescue units in Israel and operates nationwide under the direct authority of the IPS Chief of Operations. Since 2006, the unit has also been subordinate to the IDF General Staff and may participate in military missions with the IPS Commissioner’s approval. Metzada specializes in the use of non-lethal weapons, and its instructors provide guidance to the broader Israeli defense community on related tactics. **PPS statement** Amjad al-Najjar, head of the PPS, said in a press statement that Israeli suppression units, accompanied by police dogs, raided prisoner sections, brutally assaulting detainees with batons and tear gas after handcuffing them. He described the scenes as devoid of any basic standards of human dignity. He described the operation as a “systematic campaign of repression” inside Israeli occupation prisons. He warned that prisoners are enduring increasingly harsh conditions as the prison administration intensifies its punitive measures. “The Israeli occupation authority is exploiting the world’s focus on the Iran-Israel escalation to exact revenge on Palestinian prisoners, away from international scrutiny,”(...). “The risk to their lives grows with each passing day.". In response to the ongoing abuses, Palestinian institutions have sent urgent letters to the United Nations and various human rights organizations, urging immediate action to halt the violations and to hold Israeli authorities accountable.

On June 13, 2025, Israel Imposes full lockdown on West Bank following It's attack on Iran. After launching an attack on Iran, Israel has imposed a full military lockdown across the occupied West Bank, citing security concerns. The Israeli military has deployed large forces, sealed off key areas, and heavily restricted Palestinian movement — measures widely condemned as collective punishment. - City Lockdowns: Entrances to Jericho, Bethlehem, Qalqilya, Tulkarm, and Nablus have been completely closed. - Border Sealed: The King Hussein Bridge (link to Jordan) is shut in both directions. - Movement Restrictions: Enforced using iron gates, dirt mounds, and military checkpoints. - Israeli forces opened fire on civilians and journalists near the Deir Sharaf checkpoint (Nablus). - In Qarawat Bani Hassan (Salfit), civilians were fired upon while attempting to cross iron gates. - Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem was forcibly evacuated and closed during dawn prayer. This violates, once more time, the status quo.The move sparked widespread criticism for violating religious freedoms. **Apartheid in security** - Settlers receive military protection and direct instructions but Palestinians are left without guidance, shelter, or emergency measures.Israeli citizens are told to stay home and stock supplies for two weeks but no such provisions are offered to Palestinians under lockdown. **Military Deployment:** Israeli military is mobilizing massive forces across the West Bank and placing all towns under lockdown “until further notice.” Alert levels are raised on all borders.Northern forces are prepared to defend or attack, according to The Times of Israel. **Ongoing Actions & Escalation:** - Additional Closures: Entrances and intersections blocked in Salfit, Nablus, northern Jerusalem, and Tulkarem. - Militarized Raids and Bulldozing in Jinsafut (Qalqilya), an entrance was sealed by a military bulldozer. - The town of Zeita (north of Tulkarem) experienced a full military raid. **Settler Violence:** Armed settler mobs attacked Palestinian vehicles in the Rammeen Valley and Burqa (northern West Bank). **Palestinian Response:** Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi condemned the lockdown as collective punishment and a grave violation of international humanitarian law.He stated that the blockade of main roads and suppression of movement is part of a broader pattern of targeting civilians. He emphasized that Palestinians are being made to suffer while the international community remains largely silent.

He emphasized that Palestinians are being made to suffer while the international community remains largely silent. On June 18, 2025 The Israeli military installed a new iron gate at the main entrance of the town of Anata, northeast of Jerusalem, in the West Bank. The gate effectively closes the checkpoint in both directions, aimed at restricting the movement and freedom of Palestinian residents, Wafa wrote. There is another gate at the southern entrance to the town. Jerusalem is now surrounded by 85 barriers. Jerusalem governorate [statement](https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/israel-installs-iron-gate-entrance-palestinian-west-bank-village-near) The policy "is part of a strategy for full control over the city, including its Islamic and Christian holy sites". The governorate expressed concern over intensifying Israeli actions, which it says are designed to keep Jerusalem in a stranglehold and isolate it from other Palestinian communities. Other Israeli measures it cited include an increase in military checkpoints, and an increase in land expansion and annexation plans. It also added that the international community’s silence effectively grants Israel the green light to advance its "colonial and Judaization schemes".

On June 12, 2025, settlers based on Mount Sabih, backed by Israeli forces, launched coordinated attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods near Beita—damaging vehicles, attempting home invasions, and injuring several Palestinians, some seriously. The Israeli settlers from the illegal Avitar outpost on Mount Sabih stormed Beita’s neighborhoods of Za’tara and Jabal Bir Qouza. They damaged vehicles, attempted to break into homes, before local residents confronted them and forced them to retreat. Three civilians were injured, including with fractures and bruises, and others suffered tear gas exposure. WAFA (Palestinian News Agency) confirmed the coordinated settler assaults on residences in Za’atara and Bir Qouzah south of Beita. Settlers vandalized multiple vehicles and attempted forced entry before Palestinian resistance pushed them back. **Context & Pattern:** These attacks form part of an intensifying wave of settler violence in Beita, often occurring with the tacit support of Israeli forces. Similar incidents include attacks on agricultural lands and homes in nearby areas, underscoring a broader trend.
