Israeli settlers attack West Bank village of Jalud, blocking Palestinian family's court-ordered return home
Over 100 Israeli settlers attacked the West Bank village of Jalud overnight on September 28-29, 2026, setting fire to homes belonging to the al-Tubasi family and clashing with Israeli security forces. The family was being escorted back by the Israeli military under a High Court order after being displaced by settlers in July 2026. Three Border Police officers were lightly injured and the family's return was not completed due to the violence.
