The recent surge in violence in the West Bank, particularly the attack on the village of Jit, highlights the escalating tensions between Israeli settlers and Palestinian civilians. In a well-coordinated assault, around a hundred masked and armed settlers attacked the village, resulting in the tragic death of a 23-year-old Palestinian and injuries to several others. This incident has drawn strong condemnation from Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who labeled the violence as a 'pogrom.'
The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, also addressed the situation, emphasizing the need for law enforcement to take action against those responsible for such violent acts. The ongoing conflict has intensified since the outbreak of war in the Gaza Strip, with reports indicating that at least 632 Palestinians have lost their lives due to military actions and settler violence. Meanwhile, discussions for a truce in Gaza are underway, as international pressure mounts to prevent further escalation of the conflict.
