Settlers raid West Bank community following days of increased attacks

Israeli settlers have raided Jinba village in Masafer Yatta, the occupied West Bank, following days of settler attacks on Palestinian communities.

Five Palestinians have been injured so far in what has been reported as a major destruction of property.

The latest assault comes after a major attack on Friday, during which settlers beat Palestinians with iron bars, leaving at least two people with serious head injuries. Israeli forces responded by arresting 22 Palestinians - but no settlers.

Allegra Pacheco, from the UK charity West Bank Protection Consortium, said that of the 195 communities the organisation assists in the West Bank, 38 have been "partially to fully forcibly transferred" since October.

"We estimate 58,000 Palestinians in [the 195] communities are at risk, and the majority are at imminent risk of forcible transfer," she told Middle East Eye.
