Israeli forces have already killed more Palestinians in the occupied West Bank this year than the total figure last year, which was declared the deadliest for Palestinians in the region since 2005 by the UN

Palestinians were resisting Israeli occupation forces who stormed the area to provide security cover to illegal settlers invading the locality. Since the Israeli occupation of the West Bank in 1967, extremist right-wing settlers have tried to claim exclusive access to Joseph’s Shrine, which has been visited by people of all faiths for ages

Palestinians already receive three times less amount of water compared to Israelis, and seven times less than the illegal Israeli settlers living in the occupied West Bank

Israeli forces also arrested nearly three dozen Palestinians in early morning raids on Wednesday and Thursday across the occupied West Bank

The dissolution of the Knesset will lead to automatic extension of the controversial settlers’ law for next six months. The government had failed to get approval for its extension earlier this month
