This evening, Saturday, settlers burned down a house belonging to a family in the Bedouin community east of the village of Jaba’, north of Jerusalem. They also burned a vehicle owned by one of the community’s residents and fired heavy gunfire at the citizens.

Hassan Malihat, General Supervisor of the Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights and Targeted Villages, stated in a press statement that a terrorist group from the “price tag” gangs burned a house and a vehicle belonging to citizen Daoud Muhammad Musa Kaabneh, a resident of the community, and fired heavy bullets at the citizens, and attacked property.

On February 11, the occupation government announced its intention to appoint a settlement official under its supervision to organize the terrorist acts carried out by the Hilltop Youth gang in the occupied West Bank, “in order to protect them and not distract the occupation army forces with security developments that would cause them to lose focus.”

Recent years have witnessed a significant increase in the number of members of the "Hilltop Youth" gang and those who carry its ideology, according to previous Israeli reports. This gang, like all settlers, lives in a state of great comfort under a government that promotes settlement and supports targeting Palestinians and expelling them from their lands.

The "hilltop youth" are a group of very extremist Jewish youth who live in settlements, outposts, farms and isolated settlement units. Despite being called "youths", most of them are in their twenties and older, and a large number of them are often involved in attacks on Palestinians.
