In the West Bank, the attacks of settlers have increased since the start of the Yankee imperialist war of aggression against Iran. Two brothers were shot and murdered by Israeli settlers who tried to destroy olive trees in a Palestinian village. Footage showed a group of armed settlers clambering up the hillside towards Palestinian homes, where the two brothers were murdered.

One Palestinian was murdered by an IDF soldier after throwing rocks on Israeli settlers. IDF soldiers were dispatched in a Palestinian village protecting Israeli settlers, when a rock injured a settler. Immediately, the Palestinian was shot and murdered.

This violence takes place while the so-called “security cabinet” has “secretly” approved the establishment of 34 new settlements. Since 2022 the government has approved 103 new settlements. Before that, since the Oslo Accords in 1993 to 2022 only six new settlements were formally approved, alongside with the 200 formally “unauthorized” outposts, showing the increase of the Israeli State’s violence in the process of the theft of Palestinian lands over the latest years.
