On October 1, 2026, Mashhour Shaher Muhammad Yassin died of his injuries during an attack launched by colonists from the "Hafat Antoun" colony on the Al-Nasba area, east of the town of Yasuf. The incident took place in al-Nasba (النصبة), on the eastern/northeastern edge of Yasuf, around 13:00 on Thursday, 1 October. According to the investigation of the Palestinian Human Rights Center (PHRC), a large group of settlers came from the newly established Havat Anton (חוות אנטון / حفات أنطون) outpost, attacked Palestinian homes and, according to PCHR's field investigation, some were armed with M16 rifles. The outpost is only about 50 metres from the Palestinian homes in al-Nasba. Settlers from Havat Anton entered/attacked the al-Nasba area." The settlers arrived on agricultural tractors and on foot and attacked villagers’ homes with stones, prompting dozens of families to gather in the area to prevent the attacks from continuing. The villagers confronted the settlers with stones, including one of the owner of the houses and his nephew, who were defending their home. Suddenly, one of the settlers opened fire, wounding Mashhour Shaher Mohammed Theeb (51) in the left thigh, and his nephew, Shaher ‘Abdeen Mohammed Theeb (25) with shrapnel wounds to the back." Later, Israeli military vehicles carrying IOF arrived in the area and fired tear gas canisters, stun grenades and live ammunition to disperse the residents, protect the settlers, and facilitate their safe withdrawal to the settlement outpost. Israeli forces also stopped an Al-Zaytouna ambulance, took its key and threw it away, preventing the medical crew from functioning normally. Two other citizens, were wounded, one in the abdomen and the other with shrapnel in the flank. The injured men were taken in civilian cars to Yasser ‘Arafat Hospital in Salfit, where doctors in the emergency department pronounced Mashhour Shaher Mohammed Theeb (51) dead after a gunshot wound to his left thigh severed the main artery. Director of Salfit Governmental Hospital, Mohammed Al-Ramahi, confirmed his death as a result of his injuries. Yasuf municipal council head Jumaa Abdel Fattah told Wafa that the settlers attacked residents' homes under the protection of Israeli forces. **Casulaties:** Mashhour Shaher Yassin, 51, was shot and subsequently died at Salfit Governmental Hospital. He was buried in Yasuf on the evening of 1 Octobe A second Palestinian was wounded by live-fire/shrapnel. **Perpetrators:** WAFA and AFP/Israeli media identify the shooter as a settler. The Palestinian Health Ministry states Thursday that a 51-year-old Palestinian man was shot and killed by Israeli settlers in the West Bank town of Yasuf, east of Salfit. **Israeli media version** Settler WhatsApp groups circulated a different account of the incident. According to the account, Palestinians from Yasuf posing as olive pickers attacked a group of Jewish hikers who were bathing in a water pit between the West Bank settlements of Tapuah and Rehelim. The settlers claimed the Palestinians threw stones at the hikers and tried to drag a 14-year-old boy into the crowd. Israeli emergency services said the minor was lightly wounded. They also said soldiers who arrived at the scene fired at the attackers and that at least one Jewish person was wounded. The claims could not immediately be independently verified, and the IDF had not responded to Haaretz's request for comment. **Name of he martyr:** Mashhur Shaher Mohammed Yassin, 51

On September 25, 2026, around 3 a.m. Israeli settlers invading Rantis (رنتيس), west of Ramallah, and set fire to three Palestinian vehicles, partially burning them.

On September 23, 2026, around 9 a.m., Israeli Civil Administration personnel, accompanied by military and police forces with heavy machinery, arrived at the Palestinian community of Khirbet Jenbah in the South Hebron Hills, home to about 300 people, and demolished dozens of structures. In total, forces demolished 24 residential structures, 16 agricultural structures, 16 solar panels and 14 water tanks, and arrested one resident. About 180 people, including some 85 children, were left homeless. This is Israel’s third broad demolition in Palestinian communities in Masafer Yatta in three weeks (on 2 September, Khirbet a-Taban, on 8 September, Khirbet al-Fakhit). The destroyed structures belong to citizens from the Muhammad, Rab'i, Amour, Abu Aram and Jabarin families. *“Our homes were torn down today, wiped from the face of the earth,”* one resident of Jinba told UN Human Rights – OPT, *“This isn’t the demolition of rocks, this is the destruction of years of hard work and memories.”* **Broader context:** Khirbet Jenbah, Khirbet a-Taban and Khirbet al-Fakhit are three of 12 Palestinian communities, home to about 1,200 people, in an area of the southern West Bank Israel declared “Firing Zone 918.” The firing-zone designation, together with a planning system that prevents almost all Palestinian construction, serves Israel to advance demolitions and expel these communities from their land. Meanwhile, there are 10 outposts within the designated firing zone. The demolitions in Masafer Yatta are part of the Elimination Project Israel is carrying out across the West Bank. Since October 2023, Israel has expelled 65 Palestinian communities from their land and partially displaced another 18. The demolitions and expulsions are part of a mechanism of ethnic cleansing and territorial takeover used to dismantle the conditions enabling Palestinians to continue living on their land, while clearing the way for expanding Jewish-Israeli presence and control. **Statement of the Head of UN Human Rights – OPT.** Israeli demolitions of Palestinian homes and infrastructure have so far displaced 1,500 people in the occupied West Bank in 2026 according to OCHA — over a third of all 4,300 forcibly displaced Palestinians this year. “The forcible transfer of a civilian population from their land by an occupying power is a war crime. The case of Msafer Yatta also raises serious concerns of deepening Israel’s violation of international law’s prohibition of racial segregation and apartheid,” said Ajith Sunghay, the Head of UN Human Rights – OPT.
