Owais Hamam, an 18-year-old Palestinian, described from his hospital bed how he was kidnapped and severely beaten by a group of settlers near Ramallah. Hamam recounted being assaulted with fists and a rifle after being surrounded while heading to pray, and said the attackers threatened to kill him. He was later taken by military troops, who he alleges also beat him during interrogation. The incident is part of a surge in settler violence in the West Bank, with Palestinian sources reporting multiple attacks and injuries on the same day. Calls for accountability have intensified, but prosecutions and convictions remain rare, fueling criticism of the government's response to the escalating violence.
