JERUSALEM, February 19, 2026 (WAFA) – Colonists attacked the Church of the Visitation in the depopulated village of Ein Karem, near Jerusalem, on Thursday.
The Jerusalem Governorate stated that a group of colonists stormed the church in Ein Karem, writing racist slogans on its walls and on vehicles parked nearby.
This attack is part of a series of repeated violations by settlers against religious and holy sites in Jerusalem, including incursions into churches and mosques, desecration of religious sites, and attempts to impose a settlement reality that threatens the historical and religious identity of the city.
