Israeli settlers carried out a series of attacks in the occupied West Bank around September 30, 2026, including setting fire to two homes belonging to the al-Tubasi family and blocking the family's return to their village, while Israeli security forces were also targeted by settlers. In a separate incident near Hebron, Israeli soldiers raided the town of Tarqumiyah and fired tear gas at residents, and settlers attacked a Palestinian home in nearby Yatta, destroying solar panels. Settlers were also reported encroaching closer to Ramallah, raising alarm about expanding settlement activity near the West Bank's de facto capital. Israeli President Isaac Herzog, visiting IDF West Bank headquarters, acknowledged that Israeli politicians have not done enough to halt settler violence, saying attacks on Palestinians 'can be stopped' if officials used all available legal tools. The remarks highlighted growing domestic and international concern over unchecked settler violence.
