Settlers & soldiers pogrom in Beita

On June 12, 2025, settlers based on Mount Sabih, backed by Israeli forces, launched coordinated attacks on Palestinian neighborhoods near Beita—damaging vehicles, attempting home invasions, and injuring several Palestinians, some seriously.

The Israeli settlers from the illegal Avitar outpost on Mount Sabih stormed Beita’s neighborhoods of Za’tara and Jabal Bir Qouza. They damaged vehicles, attempted to break into homes, before local residents confronted them and forced them to retreat.

Three civilians were injured, including with fractures and bruises, and others suffered tear gas exposure.

WAFA (Palestinian News Agency) confirmed the coordinated settler assaults on residences in Za’atara and Bir Qouzah south of Beita. Settlers vandalized multiple vehicles and attempted forced entry before Palestinian resistance pushed them back.
