By Felo News Desk · Published
Dozens of Jewish settlers confronted Israeli security forces as they tried to return the Tubassi family to its home in Jalud, West Bank, on the night of Sept. 29, 2026, NBC News reported.
What happened
After the family was picked up by four Israeli vehicles, they were driven to their two‑structure compound just before midnight. Settlers began throwing stones at the armed police and military, prompting the forces to use tear gas and stun grenades. The Israeli military said several border police officers were injured.
What the reports add
The article notes that the family had been forced out in July after a weeks‑long siege by violent settlers. It also references a prior attack on Aug. 28, when masked settlers assaulted the family and an NBC crew, leaving the wife, Aida Ahmed Abdullah, unconscious.
What was said
“I went through a terrifying experience that I could never have imagined,” Mahmoud Tubassi, 60, told NBC News by telephone.
“We saw death with our own eyes. Death came very close to us at the hands of the settlers,” he added.
How it came about
The confrontation followed an order from Israel’s High Court of Justice to facilitate the family’s return, according to the report. Earlier this month, the Tubassi family endured a separate settler‑led assault, highlighting ongoing tensions in the occupied West Bank.
