The settlers also attacked the Huwwara town. The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed that a 23-year-old Palestinian man – identified as Mahmoud Abdel Qader Sadda – was killed in the settler violence and another Palestinian suffered critical gunshot wounds to the chest in the attack on the village. Around a dozen people were injured in the attack. Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank is not new. However, the violence has only spiked since the beginning of Israel’s genocide war on Gaza 10 months ago. Between October 7 and August 12 this year, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) recorded some 1,250 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians, resulting in at least 120 deaths, and 1,000 incidents of property damage.1 Palestinian is reported dead in a pogrom perpetrated by around 50 masked settler terrorists who invaded the Palestinian village of Jit, torching at least four houses.
