UNRWA: Settler Attacks Against Palestinians Intensified Last Month
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has reported a significant rise in violence by Israeli settlers in the West Bank.
According to the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Mehr News Agency and Shehab News Agency, UNRWA stated that last month saw the most violent wave of Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank over the past 12 years.
The agency warned that this surge coincides with the olive harvest season, posing serious threats to the lives and livelihoods of many Palestinian families.
Concurrently, Palestinian sources reported that today, Saturday, Israeli settlers armed with weapons provided by Israel’s Minister of Internal Security launched an assault on Al-Minya village southeast of Bethlehem.
This village was also targeted by settler attacks just days earlier, resulting in severe injuries to several Palestinians.
since his appointment to Prime Minister Netanyahu’s cabinet, Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s Minister of Internal Security, has distributed hundreds of thousands of weapons among settlers. This armament has emboldened these occupation forces further.
