The most prominent of them is "Hilltop Youth".. Israeli settlement organizations mistreat Palestinians in the West Bank.

The violence perpetrated by settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank is escalating, as part of the activities of extremist Israeli organizations that have been carrying out these assaults for years, often originating from illegal settlements even under Israeli law.

Israeli settlers attack Palestinian villages and towns - under the watch of the occupation forces and their police - and the frequency of these assaults increases during the olive harvest season.

At the forefront of these organizations is the "Hilltop Youth," which emerged after the second intifada in 2001, from which the "Hilltop Girls" group was formed starting in 2005.

The philosophy of this organization is based on occupying hills overlooking Palestinian villages and their farms, then gradually expanding to turn into an illegal settlement outpost, according to a report broadcast by Al Jazeera.

This organization has committed acts of murder, arson of homes, and destruction of property, and it faced American and European sanctions last year.

On Friday, the United Nations stated that Israeli settlers carried out 264 assaults against Palestinians in the West Bank during October, the highest monthly toll in nearly 20 years.

Israel occupied the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in 1967, in a move considered a clear violation of the United Nations Charter and principles of international law, and it refuses to withdraw and establish an independent Palestinian state.

Additionally, active in the West Bank is the so-called "Price Tag" group, a radical youth group that has carried out assaults on the property of Palestinians and Arabs within the "Green Line," deliberately leaving racist signatures and slogans at the sites of their operations.

Meanwhile, "Guardians of Judea and Samaria" is a volunteer organization established in 2013 to protect farms and illegal settlements, supporting settler violence, and it faced British sanctions in 2024.

The "Regional Defense Brigades" also stand out - formed by the Israeli occupation army after the events of October 7, 2023 - by recruiting 5,500 settlers to serve in their areas and near nearby Palestinian villages.

About 7,000 people serve in this organization, which is active in acts of violence, threats, and destruction of Palestinian property.

The goal of settler violence is to make Palestinian agriculture unsustainable and push Palestinian residents to flee, as part of the broader objectives of the occupation to annex more parts of the West Bank.
