On January 29, 2026, residents of the the al-Ma’azi Bedouin community of East Jabaa, near the town of Jaba’, northeast of Jerusalem. (AKA Maazi Jabaa معازي جبع) reported an attack carried out by 30 Israeli Settlers that burned at least 2 residential units and sent one injury to hospital. he Jerusalem Governorate reported that colonists launched an attack on the community; however, no confrontations were reported. Several attacks were reported and documented in this community in the past 3 months. The repeated attacks aim to seize hundreds of dunums of land to expand the Adam colonial settlement on Jaba’ lands and connect it with the Binyamin settlement, creating geographic continuity between the two. The community is home to around 200 people, including approximately 40 families and 70 children under the age of 18, living in harsh conditions without basic necessities. The area is part of the administrative designation 'C' (Israel responsible of both internal affairs and security). Official, rights, and UN reports indicate that more than 33 Palestinian Bedouin communities have been displaced since the start of the Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023, across 66 locations in the West Bank, leading to the forced transfer of 2,373 residents.

On the evening of January 27, a coordinated and ongoing wave of settler violence unfolded across Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank. Dozens of Israeli settlers, accompanied by Israeli soldiers and police, attacked at least three Palestinian villages: Khirbet al-Halawa, Fakhit, and Taban (with additional attacks reported in Khirbet al-Qin). Settlers stoned residents, causing multiple injuries, including at least two people with head wounds. Among the wounded were an elderly man with a head injury and an elderly woman with a head injury and a suspected broken arm. Several other residents were injured. Settlers set fire to homes, vehicles, hay bales, and other property, smashed cars, and stole large numbers of livestock, including reports of up to 150 sheep stolen in Khirbet al-Halawa. The total value of stolen and destroyed property is estimated at hundreds of thousands of shekels. At around 8:00 p.m., armed settlers and Israeli soldiers blocked an ambulance attempting to reach the wounded in Khirbet al-Halawa. Ambulances were prevented from accessing the villages for over an hour; soldiers reportedly confiscated ambulance keys, forcing medics to proceed on foot. In one incident, settlers opened the doors of an ambulance and harassed those inside, while standing alongside soldiers. Two injured people were eventually evacuated by the Red Crescent from a shelter, one of whom suffered a head injury after being beaten with a baton. Throughout the evening, Israeli soldiers assisted the attackers by preventing medical access, allowing settlers to move freely from village to village, and arresting two Palestinian women from Khirbet al-Halawa instead of intervening against the attackers. Later that night, residents of Susiya reported settlers arriving at the nearby Susya settlement and unloading livestock, believed to be the same animals stolen earlier during the attacks. It should be noted that the villages targeted in these attacks are located within “Firing Zone 918”, an area designated by Israeli authorities and long used to justify forced displacement. **Related attacks earlier the same day:** Earlier that morning, Israeli settlers from the Susya settlement, acting under the protection of Israeli soldiers, uprooted and destroyed approximately 500 trees—including olive, fig, and almond trees—belonging to the Rumi family in Wadi al-Rakhim, near Yatta. Settlers also broke fences, damaged property, and sprayed racist slogans on house walls, and burned Palestinian property in several locations across Masafer Yatta. **Statement of Ofer Cassif:** *"Today, around the world and also in the Knesset, we marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In the past few hours, the successors of the Nazis, terrorist settler militias, have been rampaging through villages in Masafer Yatta in the occupied West Bank, burning property, shooting and wounding people, some of them seriously, and stealing their herds. The occupation forces are assisting the rioters and preventing ambulances from evacuating the wounded. The police refuse to arrive. The routine of occupation, ethnic cleansing and war crimes."* **Basel Adra, resident of Al-Tawani and witness, with activists, of the events, wrote his testimony for +972:** Israeli settlers attacked three villages simultaneously over five hours, setting homes on fire, looting livestock, and assaulting residents. Israeli soldiers blocked ambulances, arrested Palestinians, and in some cases participated in beatings. Victims and Incidents: in Al-Tuban, Samir Hamamda, 42, and his family: settlers tried to burn the shed where they lived (after his home had been demolished in November). Flames were extinguished, but children suffered from smoke inhalation. Hamamda’s car was damaged during the attack. in Al-Fakheit, Mohammad Abu Sabha, 49: attacked near his home, beaten, unconscious, bleeding; daughter Naghm, 16, struck; mother Duha, elderly, hit on head, arm broken, rib fractured. Ambulances delayed due to soldiers blocking access; Mohammad and his mother transported to Al-Ahli Hospital, Hebron. in Al-Halawa, Settlers attempted to seize livestock from Hajj Ahmad Abu Aram, 73, and his daughter Widad Abu Aram, 53, was beaten while trying to protect animals. Fatima Abu Aram, 37, was handcuffed and assaulted while settlers stole her father Fadel Abu Aram’s goats. Khalil Younis Abu Aram, his brother, and sons detained and beaten alongside settlers’ attacks. Approximately 300 sheep stolen from 11 families. Soldiers and police stood by, set up checkpoints, blocked ambulances, and confiscated phones and keys. Some soldiers reportedly participated in the beatings. Civil Administration vehicles escorted ambulances eventually. in Wadi Al-Rakhim, the night before, settlers cut down ~500 olive trees of the Rumi family in apparent revenge for the Karm Susya vineyard on Nawajah family land. Army stated forces were deployed due to “frictions” after reports of an Israeli being attacked, acknowledged ambulance delays, and said it was investigating soldiers’ conduct

On January 26, 2026, in the afternoon, an Israeli military drone targeted a vehicle on the road linking Hosh to Sour in southern Lebanon. The driver, Sheikh Ali Noureddine, was critically injured and later succumbed to his wounds near the Hosh mosque. Lebanon Foreign Minister Joe Rajji sent a letter to the U.N. Security Council and its secretary-general, lodging a complaint over Israel’s ongoing violations of Lebanese sovereignty in recent months, according to the state-run National News Agency (NNA) The Hezbollah's media relations condemned "the treacherous assassination committed by the Israeli enemy against the journalist and imam of the town of Al-Housh in the city of Tyre, Sheikh Nour al-Din, in an attack that amounts to a war crime, and is added to the enemy’s record of brutal crimes against media professionals, civilians, and humanity as a whole". She pointed out that "targeting the martyr journalist warns of the danger of the enemy continuing its attacks to affect the media body in all its forms and names, in continuation of the policy of systematic assassinations and attempts to silence the word of truth and the free voice".

On January 25, Israeli police shot and seriously injured a Palestinian man from Nablus early Sunday near the Oyun al‑Haramiya area north of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, before seizing him. The incident occurred along Route 60, a corridor that has seen a sharp escalation in shootings, military operations, and settlers attacks amid intensifying violence across the West Bank. Initially, the Palestinian General Authority for Civil Affairs informed the Ministry of Health that the victim, identified as Ammar Majed Hassan Hijazi, 34, from Nablus in the northern West Bank, was fatally shot after Israeli police opened fire on his vehicle. Palestinian sources reported that Hijazi was driving through the area when police fired directly at him, causing his car to crash into a concrete barrier. The Israeli army and police isolated the entire area and moved him to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem in an extremely serious condition. Later on, Israeli sources, including The Times Of Israel, reported that the Palestinian driver was not killed but critically injured, and added that the police said he reportedly sped at officers before they shot him. In its report, The Times Of Israel said Police stated that officers at the scene instructed the driver to halt, and added that as one officer moved toward the vehicle, the driver allegedly accelerated in his direction, leading the officer to open fire. The police alleged that the driver then tried to escape but slammed into a concrete barrier moments later. Hijazi was unarmed, and no weapons were found in the vehicle. Witnesses said they heard multiple bursts of gunfire and saw Israeli police sealing off the area immediately afterward. Israeli police claimed the driver was speeding, ignored orders to stop, and “breached a military roadblock” near what Israeli outlets refer to as the “British Police Junction” on Route 60. According to their statement, an officer approached the vehicle, after which the driver allegedly accelerated toward him, prompting the officer to fire. Police added that the driver then attempted to flee by reversing at high speed before crashing. However, an eyewitness cited by Al‑Jazeera Arabic contradicted key elements of the Israeli narrative. The witness said the car had been speeding earlier, but emphasized that the fatal shots were fired after the vehicle had already stopped and reversed abruptly. The account suggests the officer was not in immediate danger at the moment of the shooting and mirrors several recent cases in which Palestinians were killed at close range during traffic stops or after minor collisions. Additional Palestinian outlets, including Arab48 and Ma’an News, reported that Israeli forces prevented Palestinian ambulances from approaching the scene and maintained a full closure of the junction for an extended period. **Name of the victim:** Ammar Majed Hassan Hijazi, 34

On January 25, a group of illegal Israeli settlers attacked a Palestinian school bus near Ein Al-Duyuk, northwest of Jericho in the occupied West Bank, leaving children terrified and crying. Footage shows the bus being chased and pelted with rocks while the driver was hospitalised. Palestinians in the area have been forced to call on solidarity activists to escort school buses after repeated attacks, as police ignore and settlers face no accountability. The incident represents only a fraction of the state-backed violence Israeli settlers continue to unleash on Palestinian civilians on a daily basis.

**In the Northern Gaza:** In an Israeli strike, a pregnant mother was wounded at the UNRWA clinic in Jabalia Camp. **In Central Gaza:** A fisherman was injured and a fishing boat was damaged after an Israeli strike at sea off Nuseirat, Ma’an News reports. The Gaza Fishermen’s Committee said Israeli naval boats opened machine-gun fire and launched rockets toward fishing skiffs west of Wadi Gaza (central area just south of Gaza City), damaging the boat belonging to Youssef Ahmad Salah and wounding fisherman Salah with shrapnel after a shell exploded near the boat. In addition, Israeli tanks opened heavy fire southeast of Deir al-Balah in central Gaza **In Gaza City:** After brief celebrations over launching Gaza’s first radio station since the genocide (On January 6), Israeli quadcopter drones blew up the transmission tower atop Shawwa Tower on Al-Wahda Street in Gaza City (which already sustained considerable damage during the war.). Four citizens suffered injuries. Local sources said that several displaced families live in the ruins of the Shawa Hadari building. A civilian identified as Mahmoud Qasem, was killed and others were injured after Israeli forces opened fire towards Gaza City’s al-Tuffah neighborhood. The young man, Atta Ghabayen, was martyred after the occupation forces targeted residents on Al-Hajar Street in the neighborhood Apples Eats of Gaza City. A number of civilians also sustained injuries after an Israeli warplane bombed a building in Gaza City’s al-Rimal neighborhood. **Southern Gaza:** Manar Saeed Al-Madhoun (41 years old), was killed after being shot by the occupation forces in the Al-Iqlimi area, south of Mawasi Khan Younis, Meanwhile, the Israeli army carried out a large demolition operation southeast of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, while Israeli artillery also shelled the same area. **Death toll:** Medical sources reported on Monday that three Palestinians were killed in the past 24 hours, including one whose body was recovered, and 20 others were wounded by Israeli fire and shelling. A number of victims remain trapped under rubble and in the streets, as rescue and ambulance crews have been unable to reach them. **Names fo the martyrs:** 1. Mahmoud Qasem – killed by Israeli forces in Gaza City’s al-Tuffah neighborhood, Gaza City. 2. Ata Ghabayin – East of Gaza city 3. Manar Saeed Al‑Madhoun (41) – killed by Israeli gunfire in the Al-Iqlimi area, south of Mawasi near Khan Younis.

On January 24, 2025, Israeli settler terrorists attacked the home of a Palestinian Christian family in Birzeit, near Ramallah, brutally assaulting an elderly Christian woman and three other family members. The woman was struck in the head with a stone, leaving her in critical condition, and was later taken for emergency surgery. Her son and two other residents were also injured and hospitalized. Witnesses and reports say settlers stormed the family’s house near the Atara checkpoint, stoned its occupants, and assaulted the woman inside her own home. Settlers also reportedly brought sheep into the family’s yard, vandalized property, and attacked Palestinian land in the area. Instead of arresting the settlers, Israeli forces arrived after the attack, fired tear gas to disperse locals who intervened, sealed off the area, and arrested three of the woman’s sons. One family member was reportedly tied up and detained, while Israeli soldiers allowed the settlers to leave. According to Israeli army statements cited by The Times of Israel, forces claimed they were responding to reports of Palestinians throwing stones, said one settler was lightly injured, and stated that one Palestinian suspect was detained. Later the same day, settlers returned to Birzeit, set two cars on fire, and sprayed hateful graffiti in the area. Following the attack, settler groups publicly called for the demolition of the family’s home, escalating the incitement against the victims. Wadie Abunassar, Coordinator of the Holy Land Christians Forum, condemned the assault, warning of the growing pattern of Israeli settler terrorism against Christian Palestinians, following the violent attack that left a Christian mother and her children injured. Settler-linked websites later published a video showing a Birzeit resident defending his home, throwing a stone at a settler as settlers attacked his house and beat his mother inside. According to Ramy Abdu, the settlers acted under the protection of the Israeli army, assaulted a 60-year-old woman and a child, vandalized property, and fired live ammunition and tear gas at anyone approaching the area. One son was injured and hospitalized, while another was arrested. According to Times of Israel: "One of the Israelis was lightly hurt and taken to a hospital, the army says, adding that it also detained one suspect and handed him over to the police for further questioning." The incident reflects a broader pattern of settler violence in the West Bank, in which Palestinian victims are arrested following attacks, while Israeli perpetrators face little to no accountability. The victim, 62-year-old Najat Emil Jadallah is in critical condition, suffering from a skull fracture and fractures in her legs. **According to Ramy Abdu**, the settlers, under Israeli army protection, attacked Palestinian land and homes in Birzeit, north of Ramallah near the Atara checkpoint. Settlers brought their sheep into a family’s yard, assaulted a 60-year-old woman and a child, and vandalized property. Israeli forces arrested one family member, detained another after tying him up, sealed off the area, and fired tear gas and live ammunition at anyone who approached. The woman was taken to surgery after being struck on the head with a metal pipe, while her son was injured and hospitalized as another son was arrested. [Source](https://x.com/RamAbdu/status/2015142371869257788?s=20) **Reaction of Mariam Barghouti @MariamBarghouti:** Israeli soldiers are acting like bandits across the West Bank— looting homes and carrying out armed theft. Just moments ago Israeli army detained two men near Atara checkpoint just outside Ramallah and stole 500$ from one and 700$ from the other. Meanwhile Israeli settlers are calling on chatgroups to burn the entire town of Atara to the ground as they expand their outposts in the area. Israelis are a mafia who are armed to the teeth with a kaleidoscope of weapons, it’s not just the army— and in that reality Palestinians are being brutally expelled and robbed of their homes and belongings. Its a series of state sponsored highway robberies. source: **Statement of Munther Isaak MuntherIsaac:** *Yesterday, Zionist settler thugs attacked the village of Birzeit, near Ramallah. They uprooted trees and deliberately let their flocks loose on Palestinian families’ lands—lands that are not only a source of livelihood, but a source of dignity and rootedness. When one woman from the village dared to shout at them and confront them, the settlers attacked her. She was attcked and had to be hospitalized and was placed in intensive care. Thank God, today her condition is stable. When her son and other relatives saw what was happening, they did what any human being would do: they rushed to defend her and pushed the attackers away. Now here is the real question: What did the Israeli army do? They did not arrest the settlers. They did not protect the family. They did not stop the attack. Instead, they beat the Palestinians and arrested the son who defended his mother. As of now, we have no news about him. Let us call this what it is: Zionist terrorism. The problem is not only the settlers. The problem is the system that empowers them. The problem is the immunity they enjoy. The problem is the protection they receive from the army. The problem is the ideology that sees Palestinians as disposable, as obstacles, as people without rights. This is not an isolated incident. This is happening everywhere in the West Bank. Day after day. Village after village. Family after family. Farmers, shepherds, children, elderly people—all are victims of this organized lawlessness. The family I mentioned happens to be Christian. But let no one think this is about Christians or Muslims. This is about Palestinians. All of us. We are all now exposed. All unprotected. All living under a system where the attacker is shielded and the victim is punished. This is injustice in its naked, brutal form. A system that protects violent settlers and arrests a son for defending his mother is not a system of law. It is a system of oppression and apartheid. Lord, have mercy.* [source](https://x.com/MuntherIsaac/status/2015479237008933155?s=20) **Munther Isaac @MuntherIsaac statement on January 26:** I just returned from visiting the Im’eid family in the hospital and praying with them. The son is still under arrest. The family is deeply traumatized. They told us their story, and many painful details will stay with me. But one moment in particular has not left my mind. When the soldiers came to the house to arrest members of the family, one of the women, in an act of courage and defiance, refused to open the door. The soldiers broke the window, pointed a gun at her, and in that moment of fear she made the sign of the cross. One of the settlers who had come with the soldiers saw that she is a Christian and said to her: “Why are you here? Go to France.” This makes me furious. It fills me with rage. Coming from people who, in most cases, came from Europe, who are the very colonizers of this land, and who now dare to tell us that we are the ones who belong in Europe—the level of arrogance and historical distortion is simply outrageous. We are the people of this land. We did not come from somewhere else. We did not arrive yesterday. We are rooted here. And then comes the familiar line: “This land is ours, as written in the Torah.” This is Zionism. They uproot trees. They terrorize families. They assault women. They arrest sons. And they do it in the name of God. Really? Thank God, not all Jews agree. (Sadly, many Western Christians do—e.g., Huckabee.) I told the family how proud I am of them for defending their land and their dignity. These are their trees. These are their fields. These are their lives. They are rooted here, just as deeply as the olive trees they try to uproot. Please hold them in your prayers. We call for the immediate release of Eid. Lord, have mercy.
