Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo News
Violence in the West Bank has reached its highest levels in years, with heavily armed settler extremists operating with impunity and carrying out bolder and deadlier attacks. Since October 7, settler violence has displaced over 800 Palestinians, while the Israeli military and armed settlers have killed more than 120 Palestinians. The growing tensions, fueled by Israel's right-wing government and deadly Palestinian attacks, have created an increasingly combustible atmosphere in the West Bank, raising concerns of a larger regional conflict. Palestinians and rights activists blame Israel's expansion of settlements and the unequal treatment of Palestinians under Israeli occupation for the escalating violence.

A 19-year-old Palestinian, Labib Dumaidi, was killed when a group of Israeli settlers attacked the town of Huwara in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that Dumaidi was shot in the heart by a settler while seeking refuge on the roof of his home. The Israeli military claimed that a suspect was shot after throwing a brick at a vehicle but provided no details on the victim's identity. Settler violence against Palestinians has been on the rise, occurring at a rate of three incidents per day for the first eight months of 2023, according to the United Nations.
