Five Israelis Arrested in West Bank Baby Attack as IDF Raids Qabatiya After Deadly Assault in Israel

UN monitors say settler attacks have recently hit record levels, highlighting the wider escalation driving these parallel crackdowns.

Overview

  • Israeli police say five Israelis were detained over a late‑night assault in Saïr near Hebron that injured an eight‑month‑old Palestinian reported by Wafa as hurt in the face and head.
  • Authorities reported initial findings indicating several suspects came from a nearby settler outpost, with the investigation continuing.
  • A Telegram channel linked to the radical 'Jeunes des collines' movement posted footage showing property damage in Saïr, corroborating accounts of the attack.
  • Separately, a Palestinian allegedly carried out a vehicle ramming in Beit Shean and a stabbing in Ein Harod, killing two people before being shot and hospitalized in Afula.
  • The IDF launched operations in the attacker’s hometown of Qabatiya, conducting searches and interrogations and preparing a demolition mapping, as Wafa reported arrests of youths and a curfew in the village.
