Masked Israeli settlers attack Palestine farm
Day yes, no day, the settlers do this with us: they attack us, cut the olive trees and burn the farms. This is not life. No one can stop them. We have nothing to resist them. They have weapons, we have nothing.
Palestine farmer Rifa Said Hail, in an interview with BBC
Invasions scale and Israeli government makes “thick view”
Thirty settlements were authorized by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, since late 2022. Some of them had already been built previously without permission and received retroactive authorization. The other dirt sockets, even if irregular, are ignored by the government of Israel.
UN data revealed that settlers performed more than 750 attacks against Palestinians in the first half of this year, establishing new Record. In the period, 149 Palestinians were killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers. The number of Israeli deaths by Palestinians is much lower: nine.
Only from 5 to 11 August, the United Nations Office for Humanitarian Affairs recorded 27 attacks. According to the data, invasions made victims, caused material damage and led at least 18 Palestinian families to move.
