Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are reporting an increase in attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers, as tensions rise amid the ongoing conflict with Gaza. At least 55 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,100 injured since last Saturday. Human rights activists argue that the Israeli army is violating international laws by targeting civilians. Incidents include Israeli soldiers shooting at civilian cars and settlers opening fire on Palestinian vehicles. Palestinian drivers are also facing increased danger on the roads due to checkpoint closures and settler attacks. Critics argue that these actions are part of a larger Israeli plan to pressure and displace the Palestinian population.
