Settlers attack Jalud Block Tubasi family's return

Sep 28–29

Goodman reports more than 100 Israeli settlers rioting overnight Monday in Jalud and blocking the displaced Tubasi family's court-ordered return. She says settlers had taken two houses weeks earlier and, according to witnesses, swarmed in about ten minutes after soldiers escorted the family back, burning houses, blocking roads and throwing stones at officers and Palestinians. Wael Tubasi describes doors, stairs, tiles, bathrooms and windows destroyed or removed.

Oman TV reports more than one hundred settlers attacking Jalud, burning homes, injuring three Israeli soldiers and prompting arrests. In the live discussion, Ansam Salman describes a failed army escort for a Palestinian family attempting to return to a home seized earlier, additional arson and resulting inability to regain property. She interprets the attack within government-backed settler violence, settlement expansion and displacement. The attack account and her claims about policy and motives remain distinct; no restored access or resolution is reported. Kan's September 29 on-scene report identifies Mahmoud Tubasi's family, the court-ordered escort, roof and armored-vehicle evacuation, burned homes and vehicles, three lightly injured Border Police officers, three reported arrests and the IDF's acknowledgment of mission failure. It preserves official condemnations and the analyst's criticism of enforcement. Oman's September 29 account gives roughly 100 settlers versus an eyewitness's roughly 200 and describes tear gas and stun grenades against rioters; its Al-Abed interview alleges organized government policy and army assistance. Democracy Now's September 30 retrospective carries Wael Tubasi's direct description of destroyed property. Claims about army protection, failure or assistance, numbers and motives remain attributed and unreconciled; the return was obstructed, not completed.
