Israeli Settlers Torch Cars in Christian West Bank Village, Palestinians Say
Palestinian residents of the Christian village of Taybeh in the Israeli-occupied West Bank said on Monday Israeli settlers torched two cars and left graffiti overnight. It was the latest in a series of recent settler attacks on the village near Ramallah, where the Palestinian Authority is headquartered. Taybeh is the only entirely Christian village in the Muslim-majority West Bank and home to a brewery popular with tourists and foreign diplomats. The Israeli military said it sent forces to the village after receiving a report that suspects had set fire to Palestinian property. It said it has opened an investigation. The West Bank has seen a rise in settler violence since Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, attack out of Gaza triggered the war there.
