Footage circulating from the occupied West Bank shows an Israeli settler mistreating livestock in the Palestinian village of Al-Mughayyir, with reports stating the animals were also poisoned in what was described as an attempt to blame Palestinians for their deaths.
The video, shared by Al Jazeera, was recorded in Al-Mughayyir, a village located northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. It shows a settler abusing the animals, according to the account accompanying the footage.
Reports further state that the livestock was poisoned. According to those accounts, the animals belonged to Israelis, and the poisoning was reportedly carried out in order to frame Palestinians for killing them.
No independent confirmation of the reported poisoning was provided alongside the video, and the circumstances surrounding the incident remain as described in the reports.
The footage adds to a long record of documented incidents involving Israeli settlers and Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank, though the specific claims attached to this case rest on the reports published with the video.
