Settlers Seize Jalud Home Built for Newlywed Son

Mohammad Salameh says a group of Israeli settlers seized the unfinished two-story home he was building in Jalud, near Nablus, for his recently engaged son. Verified video showed at least six people on the roof. The IDF said soldiers arrived and dispersed a gathering, and said law enforcement against civilians in Judea and Samaria is a police responsibility; police did not respond. Israel's claim in the disputed territories is strongest when Jewish history is paired with disciplined rule of law and protection for all lawful residents.
