Israeli settlers attacked the Palestinian village of Khirbet al-Sidra in the occupied West Bank late on January 18–19, 2026, setting fire to homes and vehicles and injuring residents, according to footage obtained by The Associated Press. The Palestinian Authority reported that eight homes and two cars were burned during the incident, which occurred amid a broader surge in settler violence across the West Bank where around 500,000 settlers reside in settlements considered illegal under international law. Israeli authorities had not announced any arrests by the following afternoon.
