Settlers attack a Bedouin community east of Ramallah under the protection of occupation forces

Armed settler groups launched an attack on Saturday evening targeting the 'Abu Najeh' Bedouin community located in the town of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah. Field sources reported that the settlers intimidated Palestinian families and directly assaulted their properties, including sheep pens that families rely on for their livelihood.

This attack coincided with a large-scale incursion carried out by significant forces of the occupation army into the area, where they imposed a security cordon and provided protection for the settlers during their assaults. Sources indicated that the presence of military vehicles prevented residents from confronting the attackers or defending their homes and properties.

This escalation comes amidst an increasing pace of settler attacks in areas east of Ramallah, which aim to pressure Bedouin communities to displace them from their lands, with a clear integration of roles between settler groups and the occupation forces that secure the operational area and prevent any Palestinian reaction.

Occupation forces provided cover for these attacks and prevented citizens from exercising their right to defend themselves and their homes.
