Israeli far-right lawmaker Zvi Sukkot smashes Palestinian monument in West Bank with a sledgehammer

It has been reported that Israeli far-right lawmaker Zvi Sukkot and his companions smashed a monument belonging to Palestinians with a sledgehammer in the village of Madama, located in the Nablus district of the occupied northern West Bank.

According to footage shared on social media, Sukkot entered the village with his companions early in the morning. It was observed that Israeli soldiers were present in the area and provided security with long-barreled weapons while the monument was being destroyed.

The footage shows moments where Sukkot strikes the monument with a sledgehammer, while those accompanying him also participate in the destruction. It was noted that Israeli soldiers blocked the road with a military vehicle and protected the group.

Sukkot defended his actions in a post featuring a photo on his X account. It was reported that he used language in his post suggesting that similar attacks could continue.

Sukkot’s name has previously come to the fore with visits and actions that caused tension. During his visit to the city of Rahat about two weeks ago, protests were organized, and local residents described Sukkot as a "provocateur."

On July 15, 2026, it was reported that Sukkot entered a school belonging to Palestinians in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem and destroyed the school sign.
