Soldier Testimonies on Settler Violence
Testimonies from Israeli soldiers and officers in the occupied West Bank since October 2023 highlighted a rise in settler assaults, which have gone beyond individual incidents to include house invasions, shootings, detention, searches, and confiscation of property. Notably, civilian settlers have participated in joint military operations with the Israeli army. The accounts also revealed significant overlap between settlers and the military, with the "Regional Defense" units—comprising roughly 5,500 settlers—sometimes moving outside official protocols, even ahead of the military forces, amid weak official responses to these actions. Reports indicate near-complete collusion from military leadership in the expansion of settler violence, which exacerbates divisions and opens the door to more assaults in the West Bank.
