Afrasianet - Dr. Hani Al Aqad - For more than three years, they have not been without serious and tragic morning news reported by local and international news agencies, newspapers, radios, and television stations from different parts of the West Bank and Jerusalem, about the attacks of the Zionist colonizers, whose attacks and assaults seemed to take more organized forms than before.
And most of them seemed bloody because they are armed attacks and under the protection of the occupation army, which comes only to protect these aggressors from any confrontational movements or Palestinian attempts to defend themselves, whether they are individual or These attacks aim to change the demography and geography of the Palestinian countryside.
And therefore all the hostilities and terrorist attacks targeting Palestinian towns and villages (the Palestinian countryside) and close to the major settlements or outposts, which are now in the hundreds and spread in strategic areas in the West Bank, have become the headlines of the news every Palestinian morning. Today, the form of these attacks seems to be more organized and coordinated with the Israeli army.
And therefore it participates in these attacks from A to Z, whether by protecting the appearance of the settlers or advancing with them in parallel lines during the implementation of the attacks, thus confronting any Palestinian attempts for self-defense, or by supplying these settlers with weapons and training them to use them for killing and not for personal protection.
Even as it was observed during the recent attacks in the villages of (Tal, Beita, Huwara, Douma, Masafer Yatta and the northern Jordan Valley) that the settlers began to wear clothes This means that dozens of Zionist terrorist organizations are now operating under the auspices of the Netanyahu government and its coalition ministers, especially the Ministry of Defense, and it is noted that the Netanyahu government allocates huge sums of money to these organizations from the Israeli Ministry of Finance on the recommendations of its minister, Bezalel Smotrich.
Who allocates huge budgets for settlement expansion in the West Bank and settlement activities and thus has stopped funding the construction of thousands of new housing units in all the major settlements in the West Bank with the aim of expanding them to become a settlement network connected by a network of roads. Palestinians use them and these settlements besiege Palestinian cities whose inhabitants cannot communicate and move peacefully without being harmed and terrorized by the settlers.
On Monday, the third of September 2026, we chose to include in this article the news of the settlement war that we see every morning to say that the settlers carried out an attack on the (Armenian Church) in the Old City of occupied Jerusalem by throwing stones and spitting at its entrances last night, and there is documentation in photos of their heinous act, and there are settlers who attacked a vehicle belonging to the Al-Jibrini Company on the road to the village of (Askar Al-Balad) Asira east of Nablus and tampered with its contents.
Other settlers took over the area of (Al-Fakht) between the lands of Urif, Asira Al-Qibliyah and Jama'in south of Nablus, and that the colonizers established a new outpost on the land of the area of (Al-Adeisa) in the town of Sa'ir, north of Hebron, and other groups of settlers attacked and stormed Khirbet (Umnizel) in Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, and settlers launched their livestock in the farms of Palestinian citizens in Khirbet (Al-Kharaba) east of Al-Samu', south of Hebron, Masafer Yatta. Settlers carried out provocative rounds and attacked the town of Al-Mughayyir, east of Ramallah, and settlers attacked a Palestinian house in the area of (fires) on the outskirts of the town of Beita, south of Nablus.
Official statistics indicate that nearly ten thousand settlers stormed Al-Aqsa during the month of July 2026, and that the statistics of the Resistance to the Wall and Settlement Commission say that 2256 attacks were carried out by the occupation army and settler gangs on the villages and cities of the West Bank during the month of July 2026 alone, including 798 attacks on settlers alone, which resulted in attacks on citizens and attempts to shoot them, most of which sprayed them with pepper gas They write racist slogans calling for the killing of Palestinians, often destroying crops, cutting down fruit trees, stealing livestock, sabotaging water pipes and destroying various infrastructures.
All these attacks pose a real threat to the lives of thousands of citizens living in the Palestinian countryside, which has become threatened with its seizure and annexation to the settlements, and I believe that these events represent a strategy for settlement encroachment and silent annexation, and it may not stop there, as the settlers, their gangs and the settlement councils have one strategy, which is to seize all Area C in the West Bank and annex them to the settlements.
According to a report issued by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the occupied Palestinian territory (OCHA), the number of killings due to settler attacks in the first half of 2026 exceeded the total recorded in 2025, with 18 Palestinians killed as of July 20, compared to 17 Palestinians killed during the whole of 2025, and about 90 Palestinians were displaced due to demolitions and settler attacks during the reporting period, most of these citizens were displaced Following a large-scale demolition operation in a Bedouin community in Qalqilya governorate.
The report documented 1330 incidents involving Israeli settlers that resulted in damage to property and severe damage to citizens, and the important thing is that the report stated that the occupation army tightened the restrictions imposed on the movement of Palestinian citizens and their access to various areas in the West Bank by closing the gates set up by the army on the roads leading to Palestinian cities and villages.
While allowing the settlers to move freely and under protection from the army. It is noteworthy that most of the settlers who carry out the attacks are between the ages of 15 and 30, which means that the incitement of the settler leaders aims to mobilize these youths by spreading the poisons of hatred, racism and incitement to killing, and it is noted that pastoral settlement has become a frightening form of settlement, as a large number of these settlers have turned into shepherds of sheep and cows provided by settler associations or stolen and stolen by force from the farms of the Palestinian farmers who live in those villages.
The Palestinian citizen in the West Bank, especially the Palestinian countryside throughout the Palestinian territory, has become unsafe for his money, his family, his home, his farm and his livestock, in light of the lack of any protection for this citizen because the official state, which is the occupying power, is the one that pushes the settlers to carry out bloody attacks on the Palestinian citizens.
Andperhaps all the settlers' attacks are under the protection of the army, that is, there is no law that holds the aggressors accountable, because the leaders of their gangs are mainly members of the Israeli government, and they are the ones who provide them with support and protection and encourage them More daily attacks The bloody incident of the village of Tal foreshadows more danger to the citizens in those areas and warns that the future may be more hostile acts against the Palestinian citizen, and this requires the international community to stand up to its responsibilities to provide the international protection required for this citizen, which has been approved by all international conventions, especially the protocols of the four Geneva.
Conventions to protect him and his families. The international community must hurry to find mechanisms to implement Security Council Resolution 2334, which considers all settlements in the West Bank illegal.
Therefore hasten to stop the attacks that are launched from them in full view and with the permission of the Israeli government, and if the international community does not hurry to develop a strategy to stop these terrorist attacks, the circle of blood approved by the settler gangs in the West Bank may expand and it may not be easy to control the scene because in my opinion, the Palestinian citizen He cannot stand idly by watching land be stolen, his house burned, his sons killed, and his livestock being forcibly seized.
