Israeli forces demolish West Bank home; settler attacks on harvesters draw church condemnation

Israeli forces demolished an inhabited two-storey home near Bethlehem citing lack of permit, preventing occupants from retrieving belongings. Jerusalem church leaders condemned a settler attack on Palestinian olive harvesters and European diplomats near Ramallah, framing it as part of a broader campaign of settler violence. The incident continues an established pattern of demolitions and settler attacks, with diplomatic presence adding an international dimension.
