Settlers are filmed attempting to raid a Bedouin hamlet on the outskirts of the central West Bank village of Taybeh.

The hamlet has been targeted by settlers in nearby illegal outposts on a daily basis.

The IDF has issued a closed military zone order that is supposed to bar the settlers from reaching the area, but activists say it is not enforced against them, allowing settlers to continue roaming through the village and harassing local residents.

Footage shows the settlers attempting to destroy the fence surrounding the hamlet.

No arrests have been reported.
