In a disturbing turn of events, a group of Israeli settlers, some masked, unleashed violence in the village of Jit in the occupied West Bank. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that the attackers hurled rocks and Molotov cocktails, resulting in tragic consequences.

Footage circulating on social media captures the aftermath of the destruction in Jit, with houses and vehicles engulfed in flames, sending plumes of smoke into the air.

The Israeli government, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Isaac Herzog, swiftly condemned the heinous act, emphasizing the need for accountability and justice.

Amidst the chaos, the IDF swiftly intervened, dispersing the attackers and launching a joint investigation with security agencies.

The United States also weighed in, denouncing the violence and urging Israeli authorities to protect all communities from harm.

While the spotlight often shines on larger conflicts, such as the Israel-Hamas war, the persistent settler violence has garnered international attention, prompting calls for sanctions against those responsible.
