🚨 Beaten, robbed, expelled: Palestinian families lose their homes to Israeli settlers in Jericho Armed Israeli settlers have violently expelled at least 13 Palestinian families from their homes in Jericho, occupied West Bank, reported Drop Site News. ♦️ Around 30 settlers, some masked and armed, stormed the Al-Duyuk Al-Tahta neighborhood on November 4, beating residents, ransacking houses, stealing belongings ♦️ assault left families homeless, sleeping in cars or outdoors; children’s schoolbooks in Arabic were destroyed ♦️ settlers later raised Israeli flags over the seized houses and began living in them under armed guard ♦️ settlers subsequently attacked Palestinians trying to reach nearby farms, used tear gas and blocked access to agricultural land The settlement organizations behind the takeover claim the properties were purchased, yet the Jericho Governor is cited as saying the alleged sales documents are forged. The takeover is part of a months-long campaign of settler violence, repeated home demolitions, and systematic harassment. Over 6,400 Palestinians were displaced by settler attacks and restrictions on access to land between January 2023 and August 2026; at least 48 Palestinian communities were entirely emptied (UN data). The Jericho violence mirrors the model of Hebron, where armed settlers live among Palestinians under heavy military protection, and have carried out targeted attacks against communities during the olive harvest season, destroying agricultural property. 👍 Substack | Chat | @geopolitics_prime
