Israeli Settlers Raid Deir Dibwan Near Ramallah
Israeli settlers entered the Deir Dibwan town east of Ramallah, seized a vehicle belonging to Palestinians, and blocked the town's entrances. The attackers withdrew hours later, amid reports of increased raids and arson incidents around the town in recent days.
Israeli settlers launched a raid in the evening hours on Deir Dibwan, a town located east of Ramallah in the central West Bank. The attackers reportedly seized a vehicle belonging to Palestinians and blocked the town's entrances before withdrawing from the area.
According to local sources, the raid took place after hours of deployment by the Israeli army and police in the area. Security forces later left the area, after which settlers entered the town from two different directions.
They Entered from Two Different Points
Eyewitnesses said one group advanced from the hill under the protection of the Israeli army, while the other moved near the bridge at the town's western entrance. The settlers reportedly reached the first square in the neighborhood using a vehicle taken from Palestinians near the bridge and an off-road vehicle.
According to witnesses, the attackers also entered the vicinity of a house belonging to the Abu Kayd family near the bridge area. The iron gate there was closed, preventing residents from accessing the house.
The settlers also blocked the main road connecting Deir Dibwan and the Ramun village to the east, temporarily halting all entrances and exits to the town.
Tensions Continue in the Area
Sources reported that the settlers stayed in the area for several hours before withdrawing from the town's entrances. The Israeli army and police also left the area afterward.
Deir Dibwan and surrounding villages have frequently been targeted by settler attacks in recent days, including incidents of vehicle arson and damage to Palestinian-owned properties.
Attacks by settlers and Israeli forces on Palestinian agricultural lands in the West Bank are increasing, especially near settlements and outposts. These attacks include burning, land destruction, and preventing farmers from accessing their lands.
Since October 8, 2023, Israeli forces and settlers' attacks in the West Bank have resulted in the deaths of 1,169 Palestinians, injuries to 12,666, detention of approximately 23,000 people, and displacement of 33,000 individuals.
