**On June 26, 2025** Israelis settlers attacked Palestinians. Earlier in the day, in the nearby village of Kfer Malik, Palestinians held the funeral for three Palestinians killed the night before by Israeli settler forces during another attack by Israelis. Clashes erupted when Israeli settlers tried to set fire to crop and houses and attacked the town. US-Palestinian residents defended themselves with rocks. One Palestinian was wounded. An Israeli settler driver blocked an ambulance from reaching the Palestinians. **On June 24, 2025** On the morning, Israeli settler militias uprooted scores of olive trees on the outskirts of the town. **On Monday evening, January 6, 2025**, Israeli settlers set ablaze property across the occupied West Bank in the latest rampage against Palestinian towns and villages. A farmhouse was burned. They set fire an agricultural room belonging to one of the residents in the town of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah. A lot of attacks and raids have taken place in the Qalqilya area, with pogroms in several villages. The large-scale attacks followed a shooting in the village of Al-Funduq, where attackers targeted a bus and two cars on a road frequently used by settlers traveling to the illegal settlements of Kedumim, Shavei Shomron, and others. **Incitement by Israeli governement members** The attacks came amid increasing incitement of violence against Palestinians by far-right Israeli politicians following the Monday shooting, with Palestinians being labelled as "terrorists." - Israel's finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich wrote on X : "Those who trust the Palestinian Authority to maintain the security of Israeli citizens wake up to a morning when terrorists are again slaughtering Jewish residents,"He added that the occupied West Bank must end up looking like north Gaza's Jabalia, which has been decimated following Israel's implementation of the "Generals' Plan" to ethnically cleanse the area. - The National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted on X that Israelis should realise that there are no commonalities with Palestinians : "Whoever strives for an end to the war in Gaza will receive a war in Judea and Samaria". **On January 11,2025** 3 Palestinians were injured by a group of 30 to 40 armed Israeli settlers who descended upon the Palestinian village of Turmus Ayya. TheY set fire to two cars and assaulted three Palestinians, injuring them. Turmus Ayya's mayor, Lafi Shalabi, confirmed the attack to Anadolu, noting the settlers were illegally present in the village. He said the villagers confronted the settlers before the Israeli army's intervention. **In July 2024**, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land illegal and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
