2023-4 Israel-Gaza Conflict
Civilians or Soldiers? Settler violence in the West Bank
While violence in the West Bank is far from a new phenomenon, a sharp rise in settler violence in recent years turned into a tsunami following Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. Emboldened by the Israeli far-right government, settlers see the ongoing war in Gaza as an opportunity to push forward their agenda of forcing Palestinians to leave their villages.
