Palestinians Protest against Settler Outpost at West Bank
Clashes between Palestinians and the Israeli army broke out on Friday during a march against a newly established Israeli settlement outpost in a village in the northern occupied West Bank, according to AFP. All Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law. However, approximately 1 million Israeli settlers live in illegal settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in violation of international law. Meanwhile, settler outposts are also prohibited under Israeli law. During the march, a group of Palestinians walked from Raba toward a nearby hill on top of which settlers had established the outpost. 'We came to this area to express our protest and say: 'this land is ours, not yours',' Ghassan Bazour, head of Raba's village council, told AFP. They performed Friday prayer at the base of the hill and continued toward the outpost. At that time, Israeli soldiers arrived on the scene and dispersed the crowd with tear gas, an AFP journalist reported. As a result, 13 people suffered from tear gas inhalation and received medical care from the Palestinian Red Crescent. Bazour stated that settlers had originally taken over the hill's high ground to establish an outpost and prevent Palestinians from accessing nearby agricultural lands. 'There is now a settler outpost here (which) will continue to devour the land and empty these areas,' Muayad Shaaban, head of the Palestinian Authority's Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, told AFP. Mounting Violence Violence against Palestinians in the West Bank has been growing since the Hamas attack of October 2023 with increasing number of killings and attacks by settlers and security forces. OHCHR noted that settlers have launched 757 attacks on Palestinians or their properties since January 2025. In May, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that Israel planned to build a 'Jewish Israeli state' in the occupied West Bank, according to Al-Arabiya. Katz's remarks followed Israel's announcement of the creation of 22 new settlements in the West Bank.

Clashes at West Bank march against settler outpost
Palestinians and the Israeli army clashed on Friday during a march in a village in the northern occupied West Bank against a newly established Israeli settlement outpost. "We came to this area to express our protest and say: 'this land is ours, not yours'", Ghassan Bazour, head of Raba's village council, told AFP. While all Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal under international law, only outposts such as the one established overnight in Raba are also prohibited under Israeli law. An AFP journalist at the scene reported that a group of men holding Palestinian flags and those of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas' Fatah party walked from Raba towards a nearby hill on top of which settlers had established the outpost. After conducting the Muslim Friday prayer at the base of the hill, people continued towards the outpost, until Israeli soldiers arrived on the scene and dispersed the crowd with tear gas, the journalist said. The army did not respond to an AFP request for comment on Friday's events in Raba. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its teams had provided support to 13 people suffering from tear gas inhalation. Village council chief Bazour said that settlers had originally taken over the hill's high ground to establish an outpost and deny Palestinians access to nearby agricultural lands. "There is now a settler outpost here (which) will continue to devour the land and empty these areas", Muayad Shaaban, head of the Palestinian Authority's Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, told AFP. Despite it being dispersed by the army, Shaaban was enthusiastic about Friday's march, given that violence in recent years has made all protests against settlers dangerous for Palestinians. "This model of resistance must be applied throughout the West Bank. I call for massive marches... to stop this aggression, this terrorism", he said. Violence in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has soared since the Hamas attack of October 2023 triggered the Gaza war. Since October 7, 2023, Israeli troops or settlers have killed at least 956 Palestinians, including many militants, according to health ministry figures. Over the same period, at least 36 Israelis, including soldiers, have been killed in Palestinian attacks or during Israeli military operations, according to official figures.

Anti-settlement activist Osama Makhamareh told the Palestinian News Agency (WAFA) that settlers from the "Susiya" settlement, built on citizens' lands, attacked the homes of several residents from the Nawaj'ah family and others, as well as shepherds in the area. They pelted them with stones and, under threat of weapons, prevented them from leaving their homes, issuing death threats. During the attack, the settlers assaulted the elderly citizen Mousa Ali Nawaj'ah (62 years old) while he was near his home, causing him to suffer bruises and contusions. He was transferred by Palestinian Red Crescent crews to Yatta Governmental Hospital for treatment. This attack comes as part of a series of daily assaults carried out by settlers against citizens in Masafer Yatta, aimed at terrorizing residents and forcing them to leave, within systematic Judaization plans targeting Palestinian presence in southern Hebron.
