On the fourth day of Ramadan, Israeli settlers in military uniforms violently assaulted Palestinian farmer Mufdi Rabai and his son Majd in the South Hebron Hills of the West Bank. The incident occurred shortly before the Iftar meal, highlighting the ongoing tensions and violence faced by Palestinians in the region. Despite the presence of the Israeli army, there were no actions taken against the settlers, raising concerns about collusion between military forces and settlers. Activist Osama Makhamra reported that the Israeli army not only failed to protect the victims but also obstructed emergency medical services for Mufdi Rabai, who was in need of immediate assistance. Furthermore, the army arrested his injured son rather than addressing the violent actions of the settlers. Such incidents are becoming increasingly common in the occupied West Bank, pointing to a systematic pattern of collaboration between Israeli forces and settlers against Palestinian residents. Recent video footage published by Haaretz has revealed multiple instances of this complicity, showcasing settlers attacking both Palestinians and international solidarity activists, with soldiers apparently directing these assaults. The Israeli military has acknowledged the incident but continues to face criticism for its role in exacerbating violence against Palestinians, indicating a troubling escalation in the dynamics of occupation and settlement.
