Israeli Settlers Raid West Bank Village; Israel Kills Hamas Commander in Gaza

In late September 2026, more than 100 Israeli settlers raided a village in the West Bank, blocking a Palestinian family from returning home and injuring Israeli forces, according to the IDF. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called the settlers a "handful of rioters," and the raid drew a rare rebuke from the government.

Separately, Israeli forces killed Hamas commander Izz al-Din al-Beik in a strike in Gaza. Naftali Bennett said Netanyahu is dismantling the IDF, while IDF sources said there were no signs of an imminent attack despite a warning from Netanyahu.
