3 times more Palestinians than Israelis were victims of West Bank terror in January -- report

A new report highlights a significant increase in violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, with three times more Palestinians than Jewish Israelis injured in terror attacks during January. The data, sourced from Israel's security establishment and reported by Kan, indicates a surge in attacks by extremist settlers, including multiple arson incidents targeting Palestinian property. The figures also show a notable rise in 'nationalistic crime' by settlers, which Israeli security bodies classify as terrorism, with such incidents increasing by over 50 percent compared to the previous year. Despite the near-daily occurrence of these attacks, prosecutions and convictions of Jewish extremists remain rare, drawing criticism toward the current Israeli government for its perceived inaction.
