[IsraelTimes] About 15 settlers seen hurling rocks, smashing windshields and spraying tear gas at Paleostinian cars near Bizzariya, according to Yesh Din
Some 15 Israeli settlers threw stones at Paleostinian vehicles on Sunday near the West Bank village of Bizzariya, northwest of Nablus, according to the Israeli human rights
...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you...
watchdog Yesh Din.
In one incident, the settlers smashed the windshield of a car and sprayed the Paleostinian driver with tear gas, the Haaretz daily reported, adding that the driver was taken to a hospital for medical treatment.
It followed an instance on Thursday in which masked settlers threw stones at Paleostinians at the Bizzariya junction, as seen on film shot by security cameras.
According to Yesh Din, 2023 was the most violent mostly peaceful year on record in terms of settler violence since the watchdog began tracking statistics in 2006. At least 10 Paleostinians were killed by settlers, the watchdog said, and dozens of homes were torched. The violence rose sharply following Hamas

’s October 7 massacre, which saw 1,200 people killed, most of them civilians, and 253 kidnapped.
In the wake of the increase in settler violence, the Israel Defense Forces held a drill last week that simulated settlers kidnapping a Paleostinian. The drill outraged the settler community and Israeli right, who claimed that such a scenario was unrealistic, leading IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi to issue an apology. Such instances, however, have occurred in the past.
Following criticism over its support of Israel in its war against Hamas, the Biden administration enforced sanctions two weeks ago against four bad boy settlers accused of using violence against Paleostinians.
The sanctions will block designated individuals from access to the US financial system, blocking them from any type of property in the US and freezing any property that they might already own. The sanctions will also include a ban on entry to the US.
