In the West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, 490,000 settlers live among three million Palestinians.
Their settlements are considered illegal under international law by the United Nations.
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, the UN's humanitarian agency (OCHA) has recorded an average of more than six incidents per day between settlers and Palestinians, including everything from livestock theft to direct physical violence.
Before the war, the average was three a day.
"They use the war as a pretext to expel us from our homes and to expropriate our lands," Jaber Dababsi, a 35-year-old farmer and militant in the village of Khallet al-Dabaa, told AFP.
European and US diplomats have repeatedly condemned the rise in violence by settlers that has followed the war, triggered by Hamas's bloody attack on southern Israel.
Around 1,200 people were killed, mostly civilians and 239 taken hostage during the attack, Israeli officials say.
Israel's retaliation in Gaza, aimed at destroying Hamas, has killed more than 11,300 people, also mostly civilians, including more than 4,650 children, the Hamas-run health ministry says.
'Act like soldiers'
Some settlers "even wear military uniforms", said Musaab Rabbe, 36, a farmer and construction worker.
"They were given weapons and the right to act like soldiers, they arrest people and we think they are soldiers," said Rabbe, speaking in one of the hamlets of Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron.
In 235 attacks by settlers against Palestinians recorded by OCHA since October 7, including several deadly incidents, more than a third involved "using firearms to threaten Palestinians, including by opening fire".
And in close to half of cases, Israeli security forces "accompanied or actively supported the attackers", OCHA said.

“”European and US diplomats have repeatedly condemned the rise in violence by settlers that has followed the war,””
I’m assuming that “settlers” are Israelis...If such VIOLENCE is taking place, it must be reported somewhere else as I haven’t seen it in the US press. Nice that the UN is keeping track of incidents. They’re good at that and not much of anything else. Let’s see the stats side by side with Palestinian violence against the “settlers” over the years!
Jaber Dababsi, a 35-year-old farmer and militant...
Maybe all the Palestinians can move back to their homeland Jordan, where they got kicked out of?
From the River to the River! The occupation by Arabs must end!
Too bad.
Consider the source. The Sons of Rousseau have wet their pants, as they try to placate the radical Muslims who are raping their daughters. It is interesting that the spiritual prodigy of the guillotine find sympathy for the religion that has made decapitation a sacrament. France has lost its faith, and it has nothing to put in its place. It will be dragged to hell if it does not repent.
France24 is the French equivalent of The Guardian, both are worthless cesspools.
Fancy that! I thought I recognised his name:

And on and on... Mr Jaber Dababsi has been a favorite of the MSM since 2019 or so.
Having your family slaughtered, raped, and kidnapped will generally show a spike in buying guns.
That is what should happen. Jordan IS the two state solution.
But Jordan doesn’t want them because they are violent toward the nation of Jordon.
The “surging settler violence” headline tells you a lot about where their head is at. These guys are as bad as MSNBC and the BBC.
No, because even Jordan sees Israel as “Palestine”.
Six incidents a day....on a per capita basis that’s far more peaceful than your typical Democrat-run city in the USA.
From the river
To thesea
Israel will beHamas free!
Illegal under UN international law??
apparently (hopefully) NOT recognised by Israel.
JEWs are outnumbered 6 to 1
and most are unarmed.
hummm
My quote refers to the Abrahamic covenant. The two rivers are the Nile and the Euphrates.
the Hamas-run health ministry says.
Well, that’s enough for me...
