Israeli settlers launch major attack on Deir Dibwan, injuring 35 and causing widespread destruction
ALBAWABA- Violence escalated across the occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday, as Israeli settlers launched a large-scale attack on the West Bank village of Deir Dibwan, injuring at least 35 people and causing widespread destruction. According to Palestinian officials and eyewitnesses, dozens of settlers stormed the village, located east of Ramallah, setting fire to homes, vehicles, and agricultural land. The attack included the burning of the "Abu Shahada Farm" at the western entrance of the town and targeted homes belonging to the Abu Kaid family. Mayor of Deir Dibwan told Al Jazeera that 35 residents were injured, with Red Crescent emergency teams reporting several cases of physical assault. Two individuals were transferred to the hospital, while five others were treated at a local medical center. Eyewitnesses reported that families were besieged inside their homes as the settlers carried out arson attacks across the town. The violence in Deir Dibwan adds to a growing number of settler-led assaults in the West Bank, amid rising tensions across the region. Meanwhile, in the northern West Bank city of Tulkarm, Israeli forces conducted a raid in the Kuttab neighborhood, reportedly assaulting residents and searching numerous buildings, according to local sources. In Gaza, the situation remains dire as Israeli troops opened fire near food distribution centers for the second time in three days. Palestinian health authorities confirmed that 27 people were killed in the latest shooting near an aid site, part of a contested humanitarian initiative backed by the U.S. and Israel. Dozens more have been killed across various parts of Gaza since the morning. The repeated targeting of aid areas has drawn sharp criticism from humanitarian groups and raised urgent concerns over the safety of civilians relying on food assistance in the besieged enclave.
