The attack by hundreds of armed Israeli settlers on Friday left at least one person dead according to local officials, and was one of the largest such attacks this year, according to Palestinian officials.

It’s estimated that between 1,000 and 1,200 settlers surrounded the village, and around 500 stormed it just after midday local time on Friday, blocking all the roads in the area.

According to Abu-Alia [head of the village council], the Israeli military arrived at the scene at around 3 p.m. local time, but did not stop the settlers from attacking the village. Instead, Israeli soldiers allowed them to raid homes, prevented Palestinian residents from moving around and blocked ambulances from reaching the injured, he alleged.

Israeli security forces had informed Palestinian officials that the settlers were looking for an Israeli teenager who had gone missing earlier in the day.

    Yeah…because the West Bank is just like your community’s next “neighborhood over,” right? I provided context not included in the title. Just because you can’t handle the truth doesn’t mean you won’t hear it.
