Tensions in the occupied West Bank have been mounting as settler assaults on Palestinian villages grow more frequent and brutal.

One family’s home and small farm were targeted in the latest incident, with assailants torching part of the property and killing ten sheep.

The survivors describe the attack as both an act of cruelty and a warning meant to drive them off their land.

Such scenes have become grimly familiar.

Residents say the raids often take place in view of soldiers who intervene little, if at all.

The violence has upended rural life, damaging livelihoods and sowing terror in isolated communities.

Rights groups warn that the steady escalation risks pushing the region into deeper instability, as fear hardens into fury.
