West Bank Israeli settler raids create perpetual fear in Palestinian villages, exacerbating tensions and conflict in the region.
The stress shows on the face of Samiha Ismail who since October 7 has been stuck in her home in an occupied West Bank village that lives in constant fear of attack by Israeli settlers.
Susya's inhabitants say their livelihood has gone. One international aid group has sent counsellors to help Susya residents with their mental health.The settlers are armed and protected by the army, she added, and her husband and son have been"beaten up" several times. In June, the Israeli government declared more than 12 square kilometres of the West Bank to be state land, the largest land appropriation since the 1993 Oslo Accords set out the foundations for land use in the territory.In addition, 25 settlement outposts -- not even authorised by Israel -- have sprung up across the West Bank since the start of the year, according to Peace Now, a settlement watchdog.
"After October 7, they took all these hills. We were kicked out in 1948, 1967... and now again in 2024. But this land is ours," the shepherd said, his head wrapped in a traditional keffiyeh scarf.The October 7 attack that sparked war in Gaza resulted in the deaths of 1,195 people, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.
"There is no doubt that this is the biggest problem here," Simona Onidi, an MSF coordinator, told AFP."We can't talk about post-traumatic disorder here. It's never post, it's a permanent trauma."
