Batalioni ya "Netzah Yehuda," sehemu ya Kikosi cha Kfir, awali kilichoshiriki katika vitendo vya ukaliaji katika miji, vijiji, na kambi, kilisonga Gaza. Kufuatia hali hiyo, serikali ya Israeli iliamua kuunda vikosi vyenye majina mengi, ikiwa ni pamoja na "Vikosi vya Dharura," "Ulinzi wa Katar - Hagmar," na vingine, ambapo idadi kubwa ya wanachama wa kikundi cha kigaidi "Price Tag" walijiunga, wakitumia jina "Hilltop Youth" kama kifuniko cha raia kwa vitendo vyao.
Ripoti inaonyesha kuwa tangu walowezi hawa kujiunga na vikosi hivi vya kijeshi huko West Bank, ushahidi umeanza kukusanyika kuhusu kuhusika kwao katika vitendo vya ukatili, vitisho, na uharibifu wa mali za Wapalestina. Wanavaa sare za kijeshi, kubomoa nyumba, kuharibu miundombinu, kuvunja na kuharibu mashamba, kujenga barabara, kubomoa visima vya maji, na kuwazuia wananchi kufikia mashamba yao na ardhi zao.
Kulingana na B'Tselem, wakazi wa vijiji 16 vya Bedouin na wachungaji katika Eneo C wamelazimishwa kuondoka tangu mwanzo wa uvamizi, mara nyingine kwa sababu ya vurugu na vitisho vya walowezi kwa lengo la kulinda wanajeshi wao na ushiriki wao.
Ripoti inaonyesha kwamba Yesh Din - There is Law ilithibitisha katika ripoti yake ya hivi karibuni kuwa vurugu zilizofanywa na walowezi dhidi ya Wapalestina katika Ukingo wa Magharibi zimeandikisha idadi kubwa mwaka jana, huku Umoja wa Mataifa pia ukirekodi mashambulizi 1,225 dhidi ya Wapalestina wakati huo huo.
Ripoti inasema kuwa kasi ilikuwa kubwa ikilinganishwa na miaka iliyopita, na hali ya juu ilikuwa baada ya tarehe 7 Oktoba iliyopita, na mashambulizi yalijikita, haswa mwanzoni mwa mwaka huu, kusini mwa Mlima Hebron, ikiwa ni pamoja na kijiji cha Wadi Jahish na Shaab al-Batm, bila yeyote kuingilia kati kuzuia, ingawa Wapalestina walibainisha kuwa wanajeshi mara nyingi walikuwa walowezi kutoka eneo hilo katika visa kadhaa.
Nablus 13-1-2024 Wafa - A report prepared by the National Office for Land Defense and Settlement Resistance said that the settlers are taking advantage of the conditions of the brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip, to ignite the situation in more than one governorate and area in the West Bank.
The office added in the weekly settlement report issued on Saturday that these settlers have become more organized and dangerous, after the Israeli occupation government decided to arm them in light of the joining of a large number of them in the occupation army to fight in the Gaza Strip.
He explained that the colonists today are organized into military and paramilitary formations "militias", working side by side with the forces designated to secure the security of settlements and settlers in the West Bank, so that they do not face the fate of their counterparts in the Gaza envelope, according to the claim.
The report pointed out that the Kfir Brigade, within its framework the "Netzah Yehuda" battalion, was before the aggression a brute strike force in storming cities, villages and camps, in which daily crimes are committed, killing more than 350 citizens since the aggression began on October 7.
He pointed out that this force moved to the battlefront in the Gaza Strip, and as an alternative, the occupation government decided to build formations with many names, including "Emergency Teams", "Qatari Defense - Hagmar" and others, in which a large number of members of the terrorist group "Price Tag" joined, which uses the name "Hilltop Youth" as a civilian cover for its practices.
The report indicated that since these settlers joined the ranks of these military and paramilitary formations in the West Bank, testimonies began to accumulate their involvement in acts of violence, threats and destruction of Palestinian property, and they wear army uniforms, demolish homes, sabotage infrastructure, bulldoze and sabotage fields, build roads, demolish water wells, and prevent citizens from accessing their fields and lands.
According to B'Tselem, residents of 16 Bedouin and herding villages in Area C have been forced to leave since the beginning of the aggression, sometimes because of the violence and threats by these settlers to protect soldiers and their participation.
He pointed out that Yesh Din – There is Law confirmed in its latest report that the violence committed by settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank recorded a record number last year, while the United Nations also recorded 1,225 attacks against Palestinians during the same year.

The report said that hundreds of attacks have been recorded since the beginning of the aggression, although only two investigations have been opened in the military police on suspicion of criminal offenses by soldiers of the "Emergency Teams", and "Hagmar", by the so-called "Central Region Command", which turns a blind eye to the violence of these people, and says that the recruitment process "Hagmar" took place within the framework of a quick examination as possible regarding each case, and the recruitment decisions were taken according to special circumstances, and in the case of other information, did not In the hands of the governing body at the time of recruitment, the matter will be re-examined, and decisions will be made accordingly.

In the wilderness of Tuqu', settlers erected two mobile homes in the area of "Tallet Danian", bringing the number of mobile homes in that area to 5, and erected an iron gate in the "Fataura" area to prevent citizens from accessing their lands, and they extended an electricity network to an old house, which they had seized after forcing its owner to evict it by force, and they also built roads in preparation for the establishment of a new colonial outpost in that area, after it was emptied of its owners, and their tents and homes were demolished.
In Khallet al-Nahleh, south of Bethlehem, the settlers uprooted 250 olive saplings and stole agricultural equipment in a scene that is frequently repeated in that area.
In the Jordan Valley and along its north, center and south, and violations continue from week to week without stopping.
Armed settlers, accompanied by the occupation army, attacked the lands of citizens in Arab Al-Malihat, west of Jericho, and according to Al-Baidar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights, they placed a number of iron corners, with the aim of provoking citizens and expanding their control over their lands in the area located at the beginning of Al-Maarijat road, west of Jericho.
These attacks are part of the ongoing policy of occupation to expand settlements at the expense of the Palestinian territories.
In the northern Jordan Valley, Palestinian Red Crescent teams evacuated Qadri Alyan Daraghmeh, who was a victim of an attack by settlers on residents' tents in the Shweier area, and his livestock was seized.
In this context, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu decided last week to stop the evacuation and demolition of colonial outposts, which are erected by colonizers in the West Bank during the aggression, contrary to the instructions of Army Minister Yoav Galant, who ordered the evacuation of one colonial outpost in what the occupation state calls "Gush Etzion", in the Bethlehem governorate, after the extremist Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir launched a violent attack on the Minister of Army.
The National Office followed up on colonial activities last week, noting that Jerusalem remains the focus of the Judaization policy of the Israeli government and municipality.
The report stressed that the projects of the "fake" five-year plan for the development of East Jerusalem have disappeared, which were approved by the occupation government in August last year, to be replaced by projects to Judaize the city in a blatant manner.
At this level, and in the context of political propaganda and preparation for the campaign for the elections of municipalities and local authorities in the occupying power, the occupation municipality in Jerusalem last weekend, without legal basis, pre-empted the judicial procedures in the courts of Jerusalem, and announced in advance the approval of the colonial plan called "Silicon Valley", which extends along Wadi Al-Joz Road and Othman Bin Affan Street, to build buildings of 8 to 14 floors on the ruins of commercial and industrial shops in the Al-Quds Industrial Zone.
The report pointed out that the plan, as confirmed by the petitioners against it from the people of Jerusalem, is disastrous for Jerusalemites, and affects the owners of workshops in the industrial zone, and their property rights by seizing their shops, despite their need for housing and an industrial zone, and not for a colonial project aimed at removing an entire industrial zone for Jerusalemites that was originally established before the occupation.
The plan includes the seizure of 2,000 dunums of Palestinian-owned land, the demolition of 200 industrial facilities and workshops in Wadi Joz, and the construction of a high-tech and technology complex, with services, cafes, hotels, huge towers and commercial centers.
In its plan, the Israeli municipality aims to transform the Palestinian neighborhoods near the walls of the Old City and the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque into a technological, industrial and commercial center, and a colonial attraction and investment area at the expense of Jerusalemites' lands.
Notably, 87 percent of the land in the city is not available for Palestinian construction, and only 13 percent of the land is allocated for Palestinian use, although most of these areas are already built and overcrowded.
At the same time, the Israeli municipality approved the establishment of a garbage dump on an area of 109 dunums in a densely populated area of Jerusalemites in a valley near Issawiya, Anata and Ras Shehadeh, east of occupied Jerusalem, and this plan dates back to 2012, when the municipality intended to establish it on an area of 520 dunums in the same place, but the Jerusalemites, with the help of the association "Bimkom - Planners for Planning Rights", prevented this in the Israeli courts for a whole decade, and were able to reduce the damage and stop the demolition 70 residential and commercial facilities to implement this scheme.
According to the new plan, the landfill area will spread over an area of only 109 dunums, a quarter of the area allocated to the landfill in the previous version of the plan for 2022, and about a fifth of this size from the original plan for 2012, where the landfill was supposed to extend over about 520 dunums.
In addition, the new plan requires that the volume of waste should not exceed 350,000 cubic meters only, an amount that constitutes between 4-7% of the volume of dust planned in previous versions, ranging between 5-8 million cubic meters.
