Settlers attack Bedouins, Ben-Gvir fuels tensions in occupied West Bank
"Israeli settlers have assaulted a Bedouin family near the village of Taybeh, east of Ramallah, while Israeli forces continue to carry out raids and arrests across the occupied West Bank , as the military relentlessly pounds Gaza. Two Palestinians were also injured by settler gunfire during an attack on the Khallet al-Eis area in the town of Ash-Shuyukh, northeast of Hebron."
"The settlers fired shots at homes and set fire to areas of agricultural land, with the protection of Israeli troops who had stormed the area and fired live ammunition. Settlers also stormed and vandalised the Hanbali Mosque in the city of Nablus. Settlers are Israeli citizens who live illegally on private Palestinian land. More than 700,000 settlers 10 per cent of Israel's population live in 150 illegal settlements and 128 outposts spread across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem."
"In the meantime, far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir participated in the storming of the occupied West Bank city of Umm al-Fahm, northwest of Jenin, with Israeli police and Border Police. Ben-Gvir made the move as he and far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich push plans for annexing much of the occupied Palestinian territory despite condemnation from European and Arab leaders."

More than 700,000 settlers live in 150 settlements and 128 outposts across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
