Israeli settler attacks have consistently been rising for the past six years. Attacks on villages in the Nablus area, where there is a heavy settler concentration, have been increasing and becoming more organised over the past year.
Many of these incidents have been recorded on video that shows the attacks taking place under the protection or in coordination with the Israeli army, sometimes with soldiers and settlers shooting side by side.
In a statement on December 15, the United Nations said, “2022 is the sixth year of consecutive annual increase in the number of Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank.”

Tensions high in West Bank after deadly Israeli settler rampage
Palestinian killed as settlers backed by the Israeli army burn dozens of houses, cars in West Bank in revenge attacks.
I've also included a link (below) to the Israeli Human Rights group B'tselem which has many videos showing IDF supported settler violence against the Palestinians of the West Bank.
With the recent settler pogrom against Palestinians living in and around Nablus , which again produced the same footage of IDF settler collusion in these attacks, are we to take seriously any state actions to be taken against these people?
The right wing govt of Israel today is heavily connected with settler violence and so international calls for action to stop the violence seem at best naïve at worse a wilful ignorance of the situation there.
