Wadi al-Qalt: Settler intrudes upon home, leaves and throws stones at it

On 24 October 2021, a settler walked uninvited into the Ka’abneh family home in the community of Wadi al-Qalt in Jericho District. The only person in the room he entered was an eight-year-old girl, who was startled and began shouting. The settler left the house and started throwing stones at it. When other community residents arrived, he fled and they called the Israel Police. Police officers who arrived suggested the residents file a complaint at the police station in the settlement of Ma’ale Adumim.

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Since the Hamas attack on 7 October 2023, Israel has acted in a coordinated and deliberate manner to destroy Palestinian society in the Gaza Strip, committing genocide against its residents. In light of Israel’s actions in Gaza, the public statements made by Israeli decision-makers, and the international community’s failure to take effective action, there is a serious risk that the Israeli regime will expand the genocide to other areas under its control—first and foremost, the West Bank.
B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
