Israeli settlers set fire to the Tubasi family's house in Jalud

Muhammad Tubasi, whose family was attacked by a group of Israeli settlers while trying to return home to Jalud under IDF escort, told the Times of Israel that his house was set on fire by the violent mob and that the rioters also set fire to his car, adding that they managed to escape without injury only because IDF soldiers rescued them and transferred them to a military vehicle. The Tubasi family was evicted by a group of settlers from their home at the end of July, after a siege that lasted several weeks and the house was occupied.

On September 6, the High Court of Justice ruled that the state must return the house to the family within two weeks.

Last night, the Israel Defense Forces escorted the family home, but settlers then rioted there, blocking roads, burning vehicles and tires, throwing stones at security forces and setting fire to the family's home. Due to the unrest, forces were forced to evacuate family members from the area.
