Zionist settlers, supported by Israeli forces, seized and occupied eight Palestinian houses in Ain al-Duyuk al-Tahta, on the outskirts of Arijah (Jericho) in the West Bank.
At least 65 Palestinians were forcibly displaced after armed settlers entered the area and attacked residents with stones and live bullets.
Israeli forces then blocked access to the selected area, preventing displaced Palestinians from returning while ensuring the settlers took over.
The attack was organized by the home settlers movement in cooperation with the regional settler leadership.
Settlers openly describe these operations as dismantling the Oslo Accords, as they are aimed at Jericho, which historically was the first city transferred to Palestinian control under the Gaza-Jericho Agreement of 1994, in an attempt to erase administrative borders, further divide Palestinian lands and prevent Palestinian self-determination.
The settlers say they are using the so-called Hebron model, creating military settler enclaves in Palestinian population centers to divide land, terrorize Palestinians and force them to permanently displace.
While Canada, the UK and the European Union have begun to sanction various settler organizations such as The Start and their settler members, the US continues to allow their networks and funding streams to operate freely under a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charitable status.
