Israeli settlers carried out a series of violent attacks on Palestinian villages across the occupied West Bank following the death of 18-year-old Israeli Jew Yehuda Sherman. The violence began after Sherman died when his quad bike collided with a Palestinian vehicle. Police are investigating whether the incident was intentional or accidental. In response, settlers used WhatsApp groups to call for revenge, leading to more than 20 reported attacks overnight. Homes, vehicles, and farmland were set on fire in villages including Jalud, Qaryut, Al-Funduqimiyah, and Silat ad-Dahr.
The Israeli Defense Forces deployed troops and border police to several villages after reports of arson and unrest. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported injuries among both Palestinians and attackers. The Palestinian Foreign Ministry condemned the attacks, saying they caused destruction and fear during Eid al-Fitr. Israeli police arrested five people near Deir al-Hatab and vowed zero tolerance for extremist violence. Human rights group Yesh Din described the events as a “night of pogroms,” accusing authorities of failing to act despite prior warnings.
According to the UN, settler violence has surged since the joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran, with six Palestinians killed since March 1. Israeli opposition leader Yair Golan blamed the government for encouraging chaos amid ongoing conflict.
