Israeli Settlers Set Palestinian Town on Fire
On February 26, the Palestinian town of Huwara became the site of a violent attack by Israeli settlers, with the Israeli army watching on. Huwara is located on Highway 60, the main road connecting Palestinian towns in the military-occupied West Bank, and is one of the few remaining places where Israeli settlers and Palestinians drive on the same road. Settlers have frequently targeted the town in the hopes of forcing Palestinian residents to flee and take over the area. In this episode, Diana Buttu dives into the details of the attack, which saw Palestinian homes, cars, and land burned down, and resulted in the death of Sameh Aqtash, a man who had just returned from helping with earthquake relief in Turkey.
