#Palestine / Israeli settler attack on Khirbet al-Marajem near a Palestinian village in the occupied West Bank
On Thursday night, March 14, 2025, dozens of armed Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian community of Khirbet al-Marajem near #Duma in the occupied West Bank, Nablus Governorate.
According to resident testimonies, approximately 40 settlers, some in uniform and armed, attacked around 11:30 PM. Three homes and one car were burned. Two Palestinian infants were removed from a home during the attack. The Israeli military was present but made no arrests. No casualties were reported, but homes were severely damaged.
The village is located near a new outpost called Gal Yosef, which was established after the war on land previously occupied by the al-Rashash community. That community was entirely displaced at the beginning of the war following settler violence.

Duma's council head, Hussein Dawabsheh, noted this was "the latest in a series of criminal acts, with the support of the Israeli government and army."
The town has a painful history - in 2015, an arson attack by settlers killed three members of the Dawabsheh family, including a toddler (the Duma arson attack). Amiram Ben-Uliel was convicted of three counts of murder, two counts of attempted murder, three counts of arson and conspiring to commit a racially motivated crime as part of a "terrorist act" and sentenced to life imprisonment.
A week before this attack, Rabbi Arik Ascherman was arrested and removed from the area for 15 days after trying to prevent settlers from taking a Palestinian sheep.
