Settler extremists boast of attacks on Palestinians during Hebrew month of Adar in public WhatsApp channel

A public messaging channel operated by Jewish extremist settlers has boasted about a series of attacks carried out against Palestinian civilians and their property in the West Bank during the Hebrew month of Adar, which recently concluded. The message detailed dozens of incidents targeting multiple Palestinian communities.

According to the post, five attacks targeted the village of Mikhmas and three struck the Jordan Valley region of Masafer Yatta, along with assaults on 26 other villages. The reported damage included 19 vehicles destroyed, dozens of tires slashed, 16 homes demolished, 37 people injured and two mosques set on fire.

Such attacks are described as occurring almost daily and with near total impunity. A lawmaker from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's party said she was unaware of the phenomenon when asked about it.
