Israeli Settlers Attack Palestinian Herders in Masafer Yatta, Occupied West Bank

Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian herders in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank. The attack took place while the herders were in jeeps, according to local sources and the Palestinian Embassy in Cyprus. The incident occurs during a period of increasing tension in the region, with a recent UN report documenting a significant increase in attacks by settlers and armed groups in the West Bank. The UN report states that in 2025, more than 830 Palestinians were injured in such attacks, an average of two people per day. This puts local communities and the safety of residents at risk. The attack against the Palestinian herders is another example of the violence prevailing in the occupied West Bank and highlights the need to protect Palestinians and restore security in the area.
