Israeli settlers break into West Bank village home overnight, forcing residents to flee
"They [the settlers] are starting to build an outpost very close to the community's homes, as recently happened in Maghayer a-Dir, where the residents were forced to leave," the group said in a post on X.
The settlers also reportedly stole cash and an air conditioner unit, and relaxed in the courtyard of the home after forcing the family to flee.
According to The Times of Israel, citing an Israeli activist assisting residents of the village, there were around 25 settlers present at the scene who threw stones at activists and villagers, and chased them with clubs.

A Hamas security official told Al Jazeera Arabic that Israel is trying to create issues that will lead to the destabilisation of the Gaza Strip, Al Jazeera Arabic reported on Thursday. The official said Hamas had prevented attempts by Israel to smuggle spy equipment and new phones to collaborators in the Gaza Strip. The official also said agents had been smuggling large quantities of drugs from Israeli intelligence officers assigned to the aid teams managing the aid distribution points. The official said the drugs were being brought in and used to 'ensnare young people, bring them down, and assign them to security and espionage missions'. Middle East Eye reported on 27 June how opioids were reported to be found in flour bags distributed by the US and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund.
