Israeli settlers attack West Bank village of Jalud, blocking Palestinian family's return home
Over 100 Israeli settlers rioted in the West Bank village of Jalud overnight, setting fire to homes and property, including the home of the displaced Al-Tubasi family. The family had been displaced in July and a High Court order in September mandated their safe return, which Israeli forces attempted to facilitate but could not complete due to the violence. Three arrests were made and three Border Police officers were lightly injured.
