VARIOUS OF WIDE SHOT OF ISRAELI SETTLERS' HOUSES HEBRON, WEST BANK, PALESTINE - MAY 21, 2026: Israeli settlers allegedly stole dozens of sheep during a raid on Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank on Thursday, May 21. A group of masked settlers raided the Khirbet al-Nabi area in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, and entered Palestinian-owned barns before taking the livestock away, according to the local officials. Palestinian villages in Masafer Yatta have seen repeated settler attacks and raids in recent months, amid near-daily violence against Palestinians and their property across the occupied West Bank. Israeli demolition campaigns targeting Palestinian homes and structures in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem have escalated as part of policies aimed at pressuring Palestinians to leave their homes and lands in favor of settlement expansion. According to figures by the Palestinian Commission Against the Wall and Settlements, Israeli authorities carried out 37 demolition operations in April targeting 78 structures, including 37 inhabited homes, while issuing demolition notices for 21 additional structures. The actions have coincided with a continued Israeli military escalation in the West Bank, including killings, arrests and raids on cities and towns involving home searches and property destruction, since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023. Since then, attacks by the Israeli army and occupiers in the West Bank have killed 1,162 Palestinians, injured around 12,245 and led to nearly 23,000 arrests, according to official figures.
