The violence last week in Kafr Malik, in the West Bank, comes amid a surge in assaults by Israeli settlers. It also set off a chain of violence in the area.

The Israeli army on Monday detained several members of the same Palestinian family in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank, after they attempted to remove a group of settlers encroaching on their land.

While global attention focused on the conflict between Israel and Iran, Jewish extremists intensified their attacks on Palestinian villages. On Wednesday in Kafr Malik, the Israeli army killed three civilians after 'stone-throwing' incidents.

Three Palestinians were killed and seven others injured in the West Bank's Kafr Malik in an attack by illegal Israeli settlers.

Israel’s attacks in occupied West Bank follow pattern of discriminatory law enforcement, with Israeli forces often present but failing to protect Palestinian population, says spokesperson - Anadolu Aj

Israeli settlers in the West Bank attacked Israeli security forces as they increase their raids on Palestinians, often without consequences.

Hard-right activists clashed with troops and set fire to a security site following a growing wave of attacks on Palestinians in the occupied territory.

The incident highlights the lack of law and order in parts of the occupied territory where Israelis associated with the settler movement have increasingly attacked Palestinians without consequences.
