On Monday, 17 November 2025, after the military uncharacteristically evacuated one outpost out of the roughly 350 outposts Israel has established across the West Bank, settlers, as expected, went on rampages in Palestinian communities.
At around 5:30 or 6:00 P.M., dozens of settlers, most of them masked, raided the village of al-Jaba', west of Bethlehem. The settlers entered the village from the west, advancing on foot from Route 367, which leads west toward the Green Line. During the events, the settlers attacked at least five residential homes. They threw stones at houses and cars, and injured a one-and-a-half-year-old in the face by throwing a stone at the car in which she was arriving at her grandmother’s home.
The settlers smashed house windows with stones and threw Molotov cocktails that caused fires to break out in four homes, which were extinguished by residents. In the yard of one home, settlers set fire to three sofas, a wooden chair, and laundry hanging on a clothesline. They also set fire to five vehicles, three of which were completely burned and two partially damaged, and vandalized three additional vehicles with stones. In addition, settlers damaged security cameras installed on one of the homes and sprayed the graffiti “Regards from the detainees.”
During the attacks on the homes, settlers told residents they must leave their homes and the village and threatened to return and set the houses on fire if they did not. They attempted to break into one home and threatened the family who lives there, saying that if they did not leave, their fate would be the same as that of the Dawabsheh family, whom settlers burned to death in the village of Duma about 10 years ago.
Only at around 9:30 P.M. did Israeli military and police forces arrive at the village and take testimonies from residents.
