On March 26, 2026, Several Palestinians were injured early Thursday morning in a pogrom carried out by Israeli settler in Saah Tayasir, northeast of Tubas.

During these days, two new settlement outposts were established on lands in Tubas Governorate, on Tayasir mountain and in Anun, on the evening of the 26th March, where a group of settlers set up a tent in an area to establish a settlement outpost, where three Palestinian families have been displaced and three families also remain. The first outpost is north of Tubas. Both outposts are roughly four kilometers from the city center.

At 03:00, during the night of March 26, a group of settlers entered the Safah area of the village of Tayasir in the northern Jordan Valley, and attempted to steal sheep belonging to the citizen Raed Hamdan Daraghmeh.

The settlers attacked Palestinian farmer, Abdallah Alghori, took control of his sheep sheds, and stole his sheep. Villagers tried to reach Abdallah to help and take him for medical treatment when settlers began firing live bullets.

They shot live ammunition on the citizens while they were trying to confront the attack, wounding 7 of them. Some of whom were taken to the hospital for medical treatment.

By daybreak, a new outpost had been established in the village.

Broader context:

The same area has witnessed several colonist attacks in recent times.

Tayasir is also home to a checkpoint between Tubas and the Jordan Valley that controls freedom of movement for Palestinians in the area. This checkpoint is used to stop people from accessing their land, making it to work, and going to school or university.

Tayasir is also the location the Israeli occupation has chosen to start building the “Crimson Thread” apartheid wall that will run from the Tayasir checkpoint to the Hamra checkpoint. Eventually, the wall is planned to serve as a 300-mile segregation barrier that spans all the way from the occupied Golan Heights to the Red Sea. This wall, along with Israel’s escalation in settler violence is part of the Israeli occupation’s plan to annex the entire Jordan Valley and forcibly displace Palestinians from their land into the nearby cities.

Casualties:

Two of the wounded as a result of gunfire by settlers in the Safah area of the village of Tayasir in the northern Jordan Valley are: Ahmed Muhammad Abdullah and Fayek Fakher Fayez Daba.

The 75-year-old Abdullah Daraghmeh is bloodied and bruised, his face swollen by the brutal assault that fractured his skull, multiple bones in his face and knocked out his teeth. His family and multiple eyewitnesses in Tayasir said settlers stormed his home in the middle of the night and beat him. Sami Daraghmeh said he found his father bloodied in his bed :“He was asleep,” his son said. “This is not normal.”

Aftermath and Israeli military forces collaboration with the settlers

Twelve hours after the pogrom, the Israeli military stepped in and occupied the resident houses as military barrack. They assaulted the CNN crews of the US Journalist Jeremy Diamond and his cameraman Cyril Theophilos putting him in a chokehold, bringing him to the ground and damaging his camera.

A CNN report describes an incident in the West Bank village of Tayasir where Israeli settlers violently attacked Palestinians and set up an illegal outpost. When Israeli soldiers arrived, they did not act against the settlers; instead, they detained Palestinians and a CNN crew, even assaulting a photojournalist.

During the detention, soldiers openly expressed pro-settler views, justified the outpost’s eventual legalization, and spoke in terms of revenge and hostility toward Palestinians evoking the death in a car accident of Sherman, on March 21. The report argues this reflects a broader pattern in which Israeli forces often support or fail to stop settler violence.

Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir has ordered the findings of an IDF investigation be presented to him.

According to an X's statement of Jeremy Diamond, on March 30, "The Israeli military’s top general suspended all operational activities of the reserve battalion involved in my team's detention & assault. The reserve battalion, comprised of hundreds of reservists who served in the ultra-Orthodox Netzah Yehuda battalion, will be immediately withdrawn from the West Bank and reassigned to training until further notice. The sweeping disciplinary action comes about 48 hours after our report first aired."

On March 3o, At 09:05, a group of settlers in the Al-Safeh area, near the new settlement outpost that was established near the village of Tayasir, stole solar energy batteries owned by the Palestinian citizen Ali Hassan Sarayah Al-Faqir. At 10:15, a group of settlers in the village of Tayasir released their livestock on citizens’ agricultural lands. At 20:50, a group of settlers near the village of Tayasir assaulted and beat the citizen: Najdi Ali Saad Daraghmeh - resident of the village of Tayasir.

On March 31, The Israeli settlers militia wounded four people and set fire to agricultural equipment and civilian property. According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in Tubas, four Palestinians were injured and transferred to a hospital for further treatment.

They set fire to a tractor, a private vehicle, and several tents belonging to local families.

Confrontations erupted as Palestinian youths attempted to repel the attack and protect the community from further damage, before many Israeli military vehicles invaded the area and attacked the residents.

According to community leader and eyewitness Amer Dabak, the Israeli military responded to the incident by arriving in Tayasir and preventing the fire brigade, ambulances and residents from returning to their homes but "allowed the settlers to do everything at their leisure”.
