In the village of Kafr Thulth, in the West Bank, Palestinian families are facing escalating attacks from Israeli settlers and the army. Members of the Hilltop Youth settler movement have burned tents, destroyed olive trees, released cattle onto farmland, and blocked villagers from harvesting their crops.
Residents said they’re being cut off from basic services after cement roadblocks were placed on the roads leading to their community. With cars unable to reach them, families say they have been forced to transport their dead by donkey.
Farid Moqbel Awde, a 75-year-old resident, recounts decades of life rooted in olive and fig farming, now overshadowed by violence and displacement. Villagers say five families have already been forced to leave, and only a few remain under constant pressure.
Despite the hardships, the community insists they will not leave their land.
