The residents of Taybeh, a village east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, continue to face settler attacks despite an Israeli military order declaring the surrounding area a closed military zone.
Local residents documented fresh settler attacks on several families east of Taybeh on Tuesday 11 August, including the Naif al-Kaabneh family, who have been subjected to violent assaults in recent days, despite the decision to close off the area under the pretext of protecting Palestinians.
Taybeh is a predominantly Christian Palestinian village in the West Bank, and its residents rely on agriculture, olive groves and olive oil production, among other sources of income.
In recent weeks, residents and solidarity activists say settler attacks have continued and escalated. These include settlers approaching homes and agricultural land, damaging property, and disrupting water and electricity supplies, while residents face increasing difficulty accessing their land.
On Monday the Israeli army declared Taybeh, along with the southern village of Rammun, a closed military zone, saying the move was intended to prevent Israelis and settlers from entering the area.
