West Bank, (The Palestine Information Centre)At least 32 Israeli settlers have reportedly been killed since the beginning of the current year as a result of Palestinian retaliatory attacks in the West Bank and the 1948 occupied territories, amid a sharp uptick in deadly Israeli military raids and rampages by extremist settlers on Palestinians.
According to a report published by the Israeli free-to-air and Hebrew-language Keshet 12 television channel, 21 Israelis lost their lives in shooting operations, while another four were killed in car-ramming attacks.
A settler was killed in a stabbing assault, and one person was killed when a rocket fired from the besieged Gaza Strip landed in the Israeli-occupied territories.
The report noted that the number of Israeli deaths in Palestinian retaliatory operations marks a fresh record.
On Saturday, two Israeli men were shot dead in a retaliatory operation by a Palestinian gunman south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
