Oded Shalom's report describes a wave of settler violence in Palestinian villages following the deadly incident in the village of Tel last Friday, in which Major Yuval Ezra and Binyahu Malet were killed alongside four Palestinians. Residents of the villages of Qusra, Jit, and Sa'ir recount arson, gunfire, and graffiti, blaming organized settler tours as deliberate provocation. The head of the Jit council, Jamal Yamin, describes about 100 attackers throwing firebombs and stones at homes, damaging 11 houses. The mosque in Qusra was set on fire on the night between Saturday and Sunday, after residents guarding it went to sleep. The report criticizes Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's comparison of the violence to 'beach brawls' in Tel Aviv and cites Telegram group messages encouraging revenge, including a detailed list of terrorist actions. The couple Ibrahim and Nazira Shalaldeh from Sa'ir describe an incident where Jewish hikers shot at them after their son tried to approach their home.
