Israeli settlers break into West Bank village home overnight, forcing residents to flee
Israeli settlers broke into a home in the Palestinian village of Mu'arajat al-Sharqiya, in the southern Jordan Valley area of the occupied West Bank, overnight and forced the family living there to flee, according to the activist group Looking the Occupation in the Eye.
"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.
