Israeli military closes road to Palestinian village Taybeh amid settler violence concerns

The Israeli military has closed the road in and out of the village of Taybeh in the West Bank to people who do not live in the village, several media outlets report.

The measure applies only to Israelis and is due to "violent attacks by Israelis in the region," the military said, according to Haaretz.

Concerns and tensions in the West Bank have increased in recent years in line with Israel's expansive settlement policy.

According to Haaretz, settlers attacked several homes in the Palestinian village of Beita on Monday night. Settler groups have also reportedly called on Israelis to gather on Monday when Palestinians in the village of al-Mughayyir near Ramallah return to their farms for the first time since the start of the war.
