Israeli settlers attacked the historic Christian village of Taybeh in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria on Tuesday, according to a single-source report.

A single-source report claims Israeli settlers attacked the Christian village of Taybeh in the Binyamin region of Judea and Samaria on Tuesday afternoon. The historic village, one of the few remaining majority-Christian towns in the Palestinian Authority-controlled areas, was reportedly targeted with arson, gunfire, and Molotov cocktails. The report, attributed to local sources, has not been independently verified by Israeli authorities or other media. Earlier on Tuesday, The Zioneer reported on a separate incident in the same region in which Palestinian arsonists set a fire near the Arab town of Tayibe and attacked Israeli volunteers who arrived to extinguish the blaze — an incident the Binyamin Regional Council described as a libelous inversion of events by the Tayibe mayor. The connection between the two incidents, if any, remains unclear.
