Settler violence in West bank rises amid Israeli attacks in Gaza

The UN humanitarian affairs office (OCHA) warned Wednesday about a significant increase in attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since Oct. 7. While the Israeli army continues its genocide in Gaza, the occupying fanatic Israeli settlers in the West Bank are being armed. Using Hamas as an excuse, the Israeli occupation administration has been carrying out massacres in the Gaza Strip since October 7, which will go down as a black mark on human history. According to BBC News, 120,000 civilians in Israel have applied for gun licenses for the first time. The Israeli government has relaxed the regulations, allowing individuals with no criminal record or health issues to acquire a gun license in as little as a week. The number of bullets that individuals can carry has also been raised from 50 to 100. Israeli far-right Minister Ben-Gvir is being accused of exacerbating tensions by arming Israeli settlers, which is seen as a potential risk to stability in the Palestinian territories. Israel's National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, who has faced convictions related to 'racism and supporting a terrorist organization,' is being accused of potentially fueling civil unrest by providing arms to settlers in the West Bank. Jewish settlers armed by Israel are killing Palestinian civilians before the eyes of the world. Jewish settlers, especially in the West Bank, are killing Palestinians under the supervision of Israeli security forces. Incidents of settler violence in the West Bank have surged to a record high in recent days. 'They are telling us to go to Jordan,' Palestinians said about the settlers who have moved into their homes. There are concerns that Israel will engage in similar massacres in the West Bank after the genocide in Gaza. The number of Palestinians killed in incidents involving Israeli forces and Jewish settlers in the West Bank has risen to 126 since October 7. Jewish settlers under the protection of Israeli forces have carried out hundreds of attacks on Palestinians and their property in the West Bank and Jerusalem since October 7.
