Israeli settlers attacked a remote Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank, burning homes and injuring several people, including a girl and a woman, the Israeli military said Thursday.
The attack took place late Wednesday in Khirbet al-Tuba, a small southern West Bank community that relies on solar power. Journalists at the scene found three homes completely burned, buildings blackened by smoke, and Hebrew graffiti spray-painted on remaining structures. The community's dozen solar panels had also been smashed, leaving them unusable.
The military said it strongly condemned the raid and that suspects had fled before forces arrived. It said several structures were burned and several Palestinians were injured.
In a separate case, Israeli authorities charged settler Yinon Levy with reckless manslaughter over the July 2025 shooting of Odeh Hathaleen, a Palestinian who appeared in an Oscar-winning West Bank film. No further details were provided.
