Israeli Settlers Killing Palestinians In West Bank Like Chickens

While the world focuses on the Hamas massacre in Israel and Israel’s bombing of Gaza, settlers in the West Bank are taking advantage of the chaos to attack and expel Palestinians from small villages, Yuval Abraham reported for The Intercept.

Throughout the West Bank, Palestinian residents are witnessing an increased presence of armed settlers around their villages, more military roadblocks, and tightened movement restrictions.

Settlers — Israeli Jews living in the occupied West Bank — and soldiers have killed 51 Palestinians in the West Bank since Saturday (Oct. 7, 2023), according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah.

At least two villages, Al-Qanub and Wadi Al-Sik, have been entirely depopulated as a result of the violence by Israeli settlers.

A Palestinian in At-Tuwani, a village in the Masafer Yatta area, is in critical condition after a settler, accompanied by a single Israeli soldier, invaded the community on Friday and shot him at point blank range.

The attack was documented by the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem. Israeli soldiers are establishing new checkpoints to block the movement of Palestinian villagers.
