Israeli settlers torch cars, vandalise property in Taybeh attack

28 July 2025 10:31 BST

Israeli settlers torched two vehicles and spray-painted racist graffiti in the majority Christian-Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank early on Monday morning. 

According to Anadolu Agency, one of the homes belonged to a Christian-Palestinian journalist and the other to a village council member. 

There are no reports of settler arrests, which are rare occurrences amid near-daily settler attacks occurring across the West Bank. 

Settler attacks in Taybeh have increased in recent weeks, attracting concern from Western leaders and religious figures. 

A visit to Taybeh from a delegation of Christian leaders and European diplomats on 14 July was followed by a visit from US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee on 19 July. He condemned the attacks as "unacceptable". 

"To commit an act of sacrilege by desecrating a place that is supposed to be a place of worship, it is an act of terror, and it is a crime," said Hukabee in a statement.
