Since October 7, Israel has been responsible for the deaths of over 500 Palestinians in the West Bank.

Since October 7, Israelis have been responsible for the deaths of at least 502 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The most recent fatalities occurred on Thursday during an Israeli forces raid in Tulkarm, where three young individuals – Mohamed Youssef Nasr Allah, 27, Ayman Ahmed Mubarak, 26, and Hossam Emad Deabes, 22 – lost their lives.

More than 230 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks, and at least 20 are believed to have been killed by settlers from illegal settlements and outposts.

October 7th marked the beginning of Israel's ruthless war on the Gaza Strip when Hamas attacked southern Israel. It is estimated that more than 35,000 people were killed and 70,000 injured in the war, with around 10,000 missing or killed in the rubble of devastated Gaza. band. After the increase in the campaign of Israeli's military attacks and the increase in violence of the settlers, violence on the west coast and East Jerusalem, which had already been nervous, on the west coast and East Jerusalem.

A far-right government led by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took power in late 2022 and has further escalated violence.

Through October 7, 2023, at least 199 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank.

According to the United Nations, 154 Palestinians were killed on the west coast, which was occupied in 2022, after Israel began raids almost every day in the territory. One of the killed was the Al-Jazira Shirin Abu Akleh correspondent, who was killed by the Israeli elite shooter in Jennin in May 2022, when the Israeli raid was covered there.

Israeli raids around October 7 reportedly targeted Palestinian militants in the West Bank, in what Israel called "lawn mowing" attacks by Palestinian militants. It was part of a policy to eliminate threats before they become stronger.

Israel would have ensured that new resistance groups with no direct ties to previously established organizations, such as Fatah or Hamas, do not become an armed nexus. Since October 7, Israel has used the war in the Gaza Strip as a cover to step up attacks in the occupied West Bank, increasingly boldly using air power such as helicopters and drones to kill Palestinians. Became. Israeli forces killed many unarmed Palestinians. “Israeli forces [since October 7] have unleashed a brutal wave of violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, committing unlawful killings, including the unnecessary or disproportionate use of lethal force during protests and arrests, and refusing to treat the injured. " said Amnesty International in February.

In December, the United Nations advised Israel to stop "unlawful killings" in the occupied West Bank, and the head of the UN Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territories told Al Jazeera that Israeli officials should be held accountable. He said the lack of support and even incitement caused the damage. Violence between Israeli forces and Jewish settlers has escalated in the occupied West Bank.

"I think it's very important to emphasize that abuse continues where it goes unpunished," Ajit Sungay said. The exercise of Israeli settlers is looking for the occupied west coast and the occupied East Erusalem.

Along with the representatives of exercise sitting at the high level of the Israeli government, many settlers seem to have used it as a claim that the Palestinian will be attacked on October 7, and the Israeli government will appear in other directions. I am betting. Israeli settlers have repeatedly descended on Palestinian towns and villages and attacked residents, in some cases forcing them to leave.

The occupied Palestinians on the west coast were afraid of eventually encountering the same attack and violence, like gas.

The occupied West Coast, including Eastern Jerusalem, has been understood in the constant illegal Israel occupation since June 1967. Its status as an occupied territory has been confirmed by the International Court of Justice and, with the exception of East Jerusalem, by the Israeli Supreme Court.

UN rules from 1979 state that it is illegal for Israelis to establish settlements within the territory. However, Israel has built over 140 colonies on Palestinian land. Palestine land contains hundreds of thousands of Israelians. The colonies restrict the participation of Palestinians, including those who have land they have built. A network separated from roads has also been built for Jewish settlers - roads that Palestinians can hardly still use.

Consequently, Israeli policy on the Western bank was called the Palestinians and human rights activists of "apartheid around the world.
