The West Bank is experiencing an unusual surge in Israeli settler violence, targeting Palestinian families, which has been condemned by the US ambassador and Israeli politicians. The IDF is deploying extra forces but faces challenges due to political interference, as ministers increasingly side with settlers, and the IDF rarely takes action against settlers, with its leadership reportedly informing Netanyahu that up to 80% of incidents they address in the West Bank are 'Jewish terror.'
