Riot blocks Tubasi return Kan reports army failure
Jalud settler attack blocks Tubasi family’s return
Sep 28–29
Kan reconstructs the previous night's violence around Jalud when troops tried to return Mahmoud Tubasi's family to its home following a court order after an earlier expulsion. The report describes more than a hundred Jewish rioters, blocked roads, stones thrown at forces, burned vehicles and the family's home, three lightly injured Border Police officers and a rescue by armored vehicle. It presents residents' testimony and the Nahalat HaNavi outpost dispute; the IDF denies leaking the return operation. Related fires and Palestinian accounts of harassment remain in the complete report. Netanyahu and Katz condemn the violence, and Kan reports three arrests and a promised further investigation. In the studio Roi Sharon says the IDF acknowledges failure, cites a senior officer describing mortal danger to troops, criticizes police inaction and warns of a further disaster. The burned home prevents the family's intended return; his assessments remain attributed.
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.
