B'Tselem: Israeli all-out war on Palestinians in the West Bank

The Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem said that Tel Aviv has been waging a "comprehensive war" on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, since the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip began on January 19.


With American support, between October 7, 2023 and January 19, Israel committed genocide in Gaza, leaving about 160,000 Palestinians dead and wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 14,000 missing.


Since the beginning of this genocide, the Israeli army and settlers have expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, resulting in the killing of 909 Palestinians, the injury of about 7,000, and the arrest of 14,300 others, according to official Palestinian data.


B'Tselem said in a post on its X platform that Israel has been waging a "comprehensive war" against the Palestinian people in the West Bank since the ceasefire in Gaza.


She pointed out that, in recent weeks, Israeli settlers have attacked Palestinian villages and citizens on an almost daily basis, sometimes under the eyes of Israeli soldiers.


She continued: "Since the announcement of the ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip on January 19, the Israeli army has intensified its raids on Palestinian cities and villages in the West Bank, and launched attacks that have claimed the lives of dozens of Palestinians."


The organization attached a video clip to its post showing attacks committed by settlers and the Israeli army over the past months against Palestinians in the West Bank.


She reported that from October 7, 2023 until the end of 2024, the Israeli army and settlers killed 737 Palestinians, including at least 168 minors.


On January 21, the Israeli army launched a military aggression on the northern West Bank, starting with the city of Jenin, its camp, and surrounding towns.


After 6 days, he expanded his aggression to the city of Tulkarm, then on February 2, he began an aggression in the town of Tamoun and the Far’a camp in the Tubas governorate, and while he withdrew from Tamoun after 7 days, he continues his aggression in the camp.


For decades, Israel has occupied lands in Palestine, Syria and Lebanon, and refuses to withdraw from them and establish an independent Palestinian state, with East Jerusalem as its capital, on the borders before the 1967 war.
