Hamas also mourned the men killed, saying they died while “confronting the barbaric attack by settlers”, and called on Palestinians to “escalate confrontation and clashes” against Israeli forces and repel “settler attacks by all available means”. Surge in attacks The latest violence comes amid a rise in settler attacks recorded since the US and Israel launched their war on Iran last week. According to Hassan Mleihat, director of Al-Bidar Human Rights Organization, attacks have increased by 25 percent since the war began, with assaults reported in several areas simultaneously. Mleihat told the Anadolu Agency that settlers and Israeli authorities were exploiting the political and security circumstances created by the war to intensify pressure on Palestinians to displace them from their land. Attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank are frequent, but they have surged since October 2023, often involving live fire and organised efforts to displace nomadic Palestinian communities.
