🚨 TODAY: settlers and army assault village in West Bank
This morning at approximately 10 A.M in the village of Ras al Ein, a group of Israeli settlers, some of whom were under the age of 18, began attacking Palestinian infrastructure. Settlers attempted to dig up multiple buried water pipes, trespassed on Palestinian properties, and began assaulting activists. With them, settlers brought children as young as toddlers to witness and support the violence.
Shortly after the attack began, Israeli security forces from nearby settlements, along with police, and military personnel responded to the scene. Upon arrival, security forces accused activists of participating in illegal activity and detained them en-masse for nearly three hours. During this time, Ahmed Jahaleen, a local Palestinian man was kidnapped by Israeli military personnel and transported to a local military base. He was released later in the evening.
While detained, police officers demanded that all activists present identification. One activist, Dean Talkoff, a dual Israeli-American citizen, demanded that officers produce a justification for the request. In response, police officer Offir Aharonovitch brutally assaulted the activist. Aharonovitch punched Dean in the face, choked him, and repeatedly slammed his body into rocks. Dean endured multiple assaults before being forced into a police vehicle and transported to Shaar Binyamin jail. He has not been released.
These assaults are just the most recent events in an escalating pattern of settler violence in the village of Ras Al Ein. The village is largest remaining Bedouin community in the Southern Jordan Valley, and following the complete ethnic cleansing of the neighboring village of Muarrajat, has become a prime target of settler gangs. Currently, Ras al Ein is surrounded by multiple illegal outposts where over the last eighteen months, settlers and their supporters in local security forces, have mounted an increasingly violent campaign of terror designed to expel the Palestinian community from the area. Dean Talkoff is the fourth activist in the last month to be seriously injured in a settler-led assault.
Yoyon Surono, ayahanda almarhum Rheza Sendy Pratama, sempat memeriksa keadaan jenazah putranya saat sedang dimandikan. Ia menyebut ada banyak indikasi luka-luka berat di tubuh anaknya tersebut.
“Aku tadi ikut mandiin, sini (menujuk leher kiri) itu kayak patah apa gimana, terus ini (menunjuk perut bagian kanan) itu bekas pijakan kaki-kaki bekas sepatu PDL,” kata Yoyon usai pemakaman sore tadi, 31 Agustus 2025, di Dusun Jaten, Desa Sendangadi, Mlati, Sleman.
“Terus di sini (menunjuk perut) ada sayatan-sayataan, terus sama kepala sini agak bocor, terus di sini tuh putih-putih kayak kena gas air mata. Sama kaki, tangan dan punggung lecet semua,” lanjutnya.
Rheza, mahasiswa semester lima program studi Ilmu Komunikasi Universitas Amikom Yogyakarta, mengikuti aksi unjuk rasa di sekitar Mapolda DIY, Minggu (31/8) pagi. Ini dibenarkan pihak Amikom melalui Wakil Rektor III Bidang Kemahasiswaan, Ahmad Fauzi.
“Betul, dia (Rheza) salah satu mahasiswa kami. Yang bersangkutan ikut dalam aksi (unjuk rasa) di Mapolda DIY,” ujarnya, dilansir Tribun Jogja.
Ketua BEM Amikom, Alfito Afriansyah, menjelaskan Rheza sempat terekam menaiki motor bersama seorang kawan saat aparat menembakkan gas air mata. “Dia posisi di depan. Untuk yang membonceng belum tahu siapa. Tapi bukan mahasiswa Amikom,” kata Alfito.
Menurut Alfito, jenazah Rheza ditemukan dengan kondisi mengenaskan. “Untuk video yang beredar itu benar Rheza. Terkonfirmasi dari teman sekelas dan motornya,” ujarnya, dikutip dari Radar Jogja.

"Polisi juga manusia"
Ngga. Mereka adalah alat kendali penguasa. Manusia akan peduli sesama. Tidak ada manusia yang diam saja saat anak bernama Gamma, Randi, Yusuf dan Afif atau 135 orang di kanjuruhan terbunuh. Jika polisi manusia, mereka akan mengutuk kematian itu. Tapi tidak.
Affan Kurniawan. Kelahiran Juli 2004. Bulan lalu baru saja berusia 21 tahun. Tewas dibunuh aparat yg gajinya diambil dari uang rakyat. 🥀
Lahul Faatihah.
