Israelis have now killed at least 502 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since October 7.
The latest killings came on Thursday when three youths – Mohamed Youssef Nasr Allah, 27, Ayman Ahmed Mubarak, 26, and Hossam Emad Deabes, 22 – were killed by Israeli forces raiding Tulkarm.
More than 230 Palestinians were killed during Israeli raids, while at least 20 are reported to have been killed by settlers from illegal settlements and outposts. [...]

But the war is against Hamas, not all Palestinians, right?! I'm sure the violent settlers were punished for their crimes and not actively supported by the IDF, right?!
