At least three hundred Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since the war between Israel and Hamas began. The United Nations is therefore once again sounding the alarm about the “rapid deterioration” of the human rights situation in that area.
The UN calls on Israel to stop “the detention and ill-treatment of Palestinians”. There is also criticism of the use of military tactics and weapons against the residents.
Since Hamas’s attack on Israel, some 4,700 Palestinians have been detained by security forces. According to the UN, detainees have been “spit at, pushed against walls, threatened, insulted, humiliated and in some cases subjected to sexual violence”.
The Israeli army (IDF) is said to be responsible for 291 of the 300 fatalities. In eight cases, Jewish settlers are said to have had a hand in this.
The West Bank is a Palestinian Territory. But more and more Jewish settlements are being built in that area, mainly by extremist settlers from all over the world.
