WAFA reported that on 9 October 2026 Israeli colonists beat Nayef al-Kaabneh and his two children and pepper-sprayed them inside their vehicle after they drove out of the al-Kaabneh Bedouin community next to al-Taybeh, east of Ramallah; all three were taken for treatment. Press TV published a video the same day of settlers beating a Palestinian father and son and stealing their car in Yabrud, a few kilometres to the west; it is not confirmed whether this is the same incident, and the accounts are kept separate.
