Israeli settlers attacked and set fire to Palestinian homes in the villages of Abu Falah and al-Mughayyir in the West Bank on February 21, 2026, at approximately 6:45 PM UTC, opening fire on civilians and injuring several people with one in critical condition, according to a post by @IhabHassane captured within the reporting window from 6:15:55 PM to 7:15:52 PM UTC. The incident occurred over the past 59 minutes as settlers targeted homes in both villages, with reports confirming gunfire directed at civilians, as stated in the X post by @IhabHassane. This marks a breaking development amid ongoing regional tensions. Separately, Iran is pressuring Hezbollah to align with it and interfering within the organization, while field operatives express frustration over restraint amid increasing Israeli strikes, according to @kaisos1987 on Kann News with @AyalaHasson, posted within the same reporting window. This West Bank violence follows previous reports from earlier today of geolocated footage surfacing of three additional Israeli military outposts in the Gaza Strip, as updated by geolocator Chris Osieck around 5:00 PM UTC.
