Israeli settlers in ‘terror attack’ on West Bank Christian village: Palestinian Authority
Taybeh, home to about 1,300 mostly Christian Palestinians, has experienced several bouts of settler violence in recent months
Israeli settlers attacked the Christian Palestinian village of Taybeh in the occupied West Bank, torching cars and spray-painting threatening graffiti, the Palestinian Authority said on Monday.
“Israeli colonial settlers launched a terror attack tonight on the Christian Palestinian village of Taybeh (Ramallah), setting fire to Palestinian vehicles and spray-painting racist threats in Hebrew on homes and property,” the Ramallah-based authority wrote on X.
A Taybeh resident, speaking anonymously for safety reasons, said the attack occurred at about 2am local time, with at least two vehicles burned.
They said one vehicle belonged to a journalist, while noting the damage appeared to target Palestinian property broadly.
A photo shared by a Palestinian government agency on X showed graffiti on a Taybeh wall that read: “Al-Mughayyir, you will regret”, referring to a nearby village that was also attacked by settlers earlier this year.
The Palestinian Authority’s foreign ministry condemned the attack, calling it “settler terrorism”.
