Christian community in West Bank faces increasing settler violence

Residents of Taibe, the only entirely Christian town in the occupied West Bank, say escalating attacks by illegal Israeli settlers are making daily life a constant struggle to remain on their land. Local officials warn this is sustained pressure aimed at forcing residents out, with thousands of dunams of farmland becoming inaccessible. The attacks have intensified since October 2023, targeting homes, vehicles, economic facilities, and even parts of the historic Church of St. George. Despite mounting pressure, residents insist they will not leave, framing their struggle as one of both survival and identity. https://www.trtworld.com/article/c3f2cd017d1a
