Israel's Supreme Court has questioned the military's actions following the eviction of a Palestinian family from their home in the West Bank village of Jalud by Israeli settlers. A month after the incident, the court expressed concern over the IDF's role, asking who the army is protecting.

The court's inquiry highlights ongoing tensions and legal challenges surrounding settler violence and the military's response in the occupied Palestinian territories. The specific details of the eviction and the IDF's involvement are central to the court's examination.

This case brings to the forefront the complex legal and ethical questions regarding the military's mandate to protect both Israeli settlers and Palestinian residents in the West Bank, particularly in instances of alleged settler aggression.
