00:00We're told there's been a surge in settler violence.

00:04I wondered if you could just tell us what the latest is on the attacks that are being carried out during the course of this week.

00:10Yeah, there seems to be a systematic increase and escalation in the Israeli settlers' terrorism

00:19that has been launched against Palestinians, especially in rural areas adjacent to Israeli settlements.

00:28And apparently the objective is to deter Palestinian villagers from reaching their land

00:36as a preliminary step for the acquisition and the confiscation of these lands.

00:46Recently, there has been increase in the attacks in the north of the West Bank.

00:52And last Saturday, at least, there was 30 recorded attacks by settlers in the same time

01:02in 30 different locations in different parts of the West Bank, but mostly in the north,

01:09around Tulkarim, Bet Lid, Der Sharaf, Der Istia, and other villages in the north of the West Bank.

01:17And the fact that 30 attacks were recorded in the same time, in the same day,

01:25indicates that this is not arbitrary as much as it is orchestrated and planned.

01:36The other phenomenon is that these attacks happened, most of it at least,

01:43in the presence of Israeli army, and the Israeli army was either watching and doing nothing

01:50or protecting settlers when there are clashes with Palestinian villagers,

01:56which means that these settlers' attacks are backed and encouraged by the Israeli government and army.
