HRW Warns of Rising West Bank Violence
Human Rights Watch has confirmed that the escalation of settler violence in the West Bank threatens to commit "mass atrocities" against Palestinians, due to ongoing impunity and official Israeli support. The town of Tull near Nablus was attacked by a group of armed settlers, resulting in the death of four Palestinians and two Israelis. In the aftermath, retaliatory attacks occurred on Palestinian villages, including property burnings and shootings. The Israeli government responded by increasing military deployment and launching counter-terrorism operations, along with calls to demolish Palestinian homes and villages. Warnings of an unprecedented escalation continue, with 68 Palestinians killed and more than 13 injured so far this year. International calls are underway for urgent measures to stop these violations.
