Israeli Forces Respond to Arson Attack on Palestinian Village Injuring Woman and Child

The Israeli military reported that last night troops were dispatched to the Khirbet Tuba area in the Judea Division following reports of arson attacks on Palestinian homes and assaults by Israeli civilians. Several Palestinians, including a woman and a child, were injured in the incident, and multiple buildings were set on fire. The suspects fled the scene before the arrival of security forces.

Upon arrival, the troops found burned structures, graffiti, and damaged property. Overnight, police from the Judea and Samaria district entered the area with IDF protection to collect evidence and testimonies for the ongoing investigation. The IDF condemned the attacks, emphasizing the harm caused to civilians, including women and children, and called on law enforcement to hold the perpetrators accountable.

This event follows a similar attack two days earlier, where vehicles were set ablaze between the Palestinian villages of Jalud and Talfit near the Israeli settlement of Shiloh in the Binyamin region. The attackers also spray-painted hate graffiti, including the words "revenge," "Avi go home," and Star of David symbols. The reference to "Avi" targets Central Command Chief Avi Bluth.
