Footage released on Thursday shows an Israeli settler, identified as a reserve soldier, ramming an ATV into a Palestinian man praying by the roadside near Deir Jarir in the West Bank. The soldier's weapon was confiscated and his service suspended, with the military launching an investigation into the incident and other violent acts in the area. Earlier, settlers reportedly attacked the village, throwing stones and firing guns, with claims of Palestinian injuries under review. In a separate incident, five settlers were arrested for allegedly attacking a Palestinian home in Sair, injuring a baby girl, while other acts of vandalism and violence were reported elsewhere in the West Bank. The region has seen a sharp rise in violence since October 2023, with both Palestinian and Israeli casualties and a surge in attacks by settler extremists.
