Israeli forces target two Palestinians on motorbike in West Bank
Verified video shows Israeli forces in Jenin pursuing the two Palestinians. After the victims crash to the ground, the Israeli military vehicle pauses briefly before continuing on without checking or providing first aid.
Ambulance crews retrieve the bodies, coming under fire from the Israeli military while doing so.

Human Rights Council 12th Session – 29 September 2009 #gaza#westbank@palestine
The far-right Israeli security minister, Bezalel Smotrich, has threatened that Israel will destroy cities and towns in the occupied West Bank in the same way it has in Gaza.
Addressing residents of the Palestinian areas of Tulkarem, Nur Shams, Qalqilya and Shuweika, Smotrich wrote on X: “We will turn you into ruins like in the Gaza Strip if the terror you are perpetrating on the settlements continues.”
The Israeli military has lifted a ban on the sale of food to Gaza from Israel & the occupied #WestBank as its battlefield offensive chokes international aid, acc/to #Palestinian officials, businessmen (sic) & international aid workers.
A leading Israeli rights group has exposed "violent settler take over of Palestinian pastureland".
B’Tselem "documented some 20 incidents where settlers & Israeli soldiers drove Palestinian shepherds out of pastureland in the occupied West Bank’s South Hebron Hills."
Since Oct 7, some settlers have joined Israeli "territorial defence" units, which have been issued military weapons & uniforms, making them hard to distinguish.
I know that there are some Palestinians that abide to anarchism, but they are afraid to organize, because it is too dangerous. When the anarchist federation Ahdut was still active we met some Palestinian activists in some of the villages in the occupied territories who regard positively our activity. When we printed (and translated) our opinion about the conflict in the region and gave copies of it to activists of the Palestinian village Bil'in and to activists of the joint struggle from other places, nearly all of them expressed their agreement with our anarchist-communist position. In general, I think that most Palestinians agree on some form of coexistence with the Jews, not because they like us too much or anything, but because this is the reality now. They don’t agree with the proposal of the radical islamists to expel all the Jews. It was to those people, that are in favor of a common future, that we tried to transmit our message of one society based on direct democracy. There was a survey in Gaza before the October attack that showed that approximately one third of its inhabitants were in favor of one society with Jews remaining in it.
There is, however, one group that pretends to be anarchist – #Fauda. But they are not anarchist. They speak, for example, about God. And neither are they Palestinian. They are fake. They are a group that pretends to be both Palestinian and anarchist. There are too many things about them that point in this direction. I don’t know if they are just a bunch of crazy people from abroad, or a creation of the secret services. I honestly don’t know.
Please note as Israel commits genocide in Gaza they are also attacking the West Bank and destroying Palestinian homes, making them houseless and refugees in their own country while the West says nothing: #WestBank#Palestine#uspol
“Since February, the Israeli government has declared more than 1,097 hectares [4.2 sq mi] ‘state territory,’ which makes it easier to build or expand Jewish settlements. The figure already makes 2024 a record year over the past three decades.”
In the most heroic act of self defense, Israeli military destroyed the flower roundabout in Nablus in occupied West Bank.
The criminal actions of IDF in occupied west bank is not receiving much publicity, but they are attacking every town in under Palestinian control under the cover of fighting "Terrorists" but in reality, they are destroying roads, infrastructure, bakeries, schools, electric poles, cellphone base station and hospitals and medical centers.
These actions can not in any way counted as self-defense or justified in a fight against Hamas or even the PA, these actions are to make lives of Palestinian unbearable and to punish them in the most barbaric ways.
And again, the so called civilized world is standing by silent and in compliance fully behind these atrocities while punishing and muzzling those who raise their voices against these crimes.
West Bank Wall graffiti art in Bethlehem: Handala and Liberty as "Pietà".
An iconic symbol of Palestinian identity and defiance. The character has been described as "portraying war, resistance, and the Palestinian identity with astounding clarity".
Ethnic cleansing continues in the the West Bank: dozens of Jewish settlers stoned vehicles at the Zaatara (Tapuah) intersection. Then, they entered the village of Yatma (يتما) in the Nablus district and set fire to vehicles.

Once again, the issue is portrayed as a bunch of extremists who took over Israel. This is not untrue, but it hides the fact that before these extremists were anywhere near power, Israel was already systematically dispossessing, colonizing, and brutalizing Palestinians.
Every Israeli I know hates Netanyahu, Israel's messianic far right, settlements, and settlers. And I mean HATES them.
But Israeli society is still overwhelmingly supportive of the war.
Israel does nothing to prevent its terror attacks carried out by its soldiers and illegal settlers day and night against civilians in #westbank
But it freely drops bombs on Palestinians by calling them all “terrorists” even children—a practice adopted by the Biden administration as well. I hope that #icj does the right thing.
Is the best analogy for what Israel is doing “white South Africans during the apartheid regime going into the area where the black South Africans live and slaughtering them all”? At least, the government of South Africa seems to think that way.
It’s bewildering how anyone can call this total apocalyptic destruction self defense. #gaza
Where are Palestinians supposed to go? Ethnic cleansing is taking place in #westbank too.
Is the US ready to accept all Palestinians as refugees?
A Palestinian man from Hebron: "Sometimes we use donkeys to transfer sick people to the hospital or to the clinic. There hasn't been transportation in this area for a long time. Even if there is a car to drop us off at any clinic, the Israeli army confiscates the cars.”
An account of how dire life has become in the West Bank. Pure systemic occupier evil.
