West Bank Incident Sparks Outrage Over Alleged Settler Attack Backed by Soldiers
A Bedouin resident in the West Bank reported that extremists broke into his home and assaulted his family, allegedly with soldiers looking on, prompting an IDF investigation.
A serious incident in the West Bank has sparked outrage after a Bedouin resident reported that extremists broke into his home and assaulted his family allegedly with the backing of soldiers.
Muhammad Ka'abna, a resident living in Area B near Tayibe, stated that the attackers sprayed pepper spray at one of his children, forcing him to rush the child to the hospital. According to the family, while the father was away, eight soldiers arrived and allowed the intruders to enter the structure where children were sheltering.
During the incident, Ka'abna's 23-year-old son was severely beaten, and his mobile phone was stolen by the assailants, who filmed the assault. A threatening video showing a soldier leaning over the injured son was later sent to the father with a warning that the son would be killed if the footage was published.
The family reported that electronic devices, tools, and cash were stolen during the raid. The IDF stated in response that the incident and the serious allegations are currently under thorough investigation by the relevant authorities.
