Brief

Extremist Israeli settlers attacked the West Bank village of Tell near Nablus in a confrontation that left four Palestinians and two Israelis dead after a Palestinian resident seized a settler's rifle and returned fire. The author says settlers have been killing Palestinians at unprecedented rates and notes Netanyahu ordered accelerated legalization of West Bank outposts and an "intensive" IDF operation following the clash.

Why it matters

Armed Israeli settlers attacked Tell (village west of Nablus); the clash left four Palestinians and two Israelis dead after a Palestinian resident seized a settler's rifle and shot four attackers before he was also killed.

Key details

  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered the IDF to "accelerate the legalization of farms and outposts in the West Bank and establish new ones" and to mount an "intensive" military operation after the incident (Haaretz report, 2026-07-24).
  • A close-up video shared by Tamer claims settlers shot four Palestinian youths from one family in Tell; the video shows a Palestinian taking a settler's weapon and firing in defense, while Israeli accounts frame the Palestinian as responsible.
Source evidence

Today one such group of armed settlers tried to enter Tell, near Nablus, and attacked a group of residents who emerged to defend their town. One resident seized a rifle from one of the men and the shooting seen below ensued. Four Palestinians and two Israelis were killed.

In response, Netanyahu has ordered the IDF to "accelerate the legalization of farms and outposts in the West Bank and establish new ones" and launch an "intensive" military operation: haaretz.com/israel-news/isra…

يُظهر هذا الفيديو، من مسافة قريبة جداً، تفاصيل ما حدث من قتل المستوطنين الإسرائيليين أربعةَ شبان فلسطينيين من عائلة واحدة في قرية تل غرب نابلس، حاولوا الدفاع عن أنفسهم وعن قريتهم ومنازلهم بعد أن هاجمهم المستوطنون بالسلاح. حيث بدأ المستوطنون إطلاق النار عليهم من مسافة قريبة، فسحب فلسطيني السلاحَ من أحدهم ودافع عن نفسه وعن أقاربه وأطلق النار عليهم قبل أن يُستشهد هو أيضاً.

وفي النهاية في الرواية الإسرائيلية، أصبح الفلسطيني هو من يتحمل المسؤولية لأنه دافع عن نفسه.
