The occupation forces clash with the Tolkham Brigade. The brigades have worked hard over the past two days. As a result, many members of the armed group were killed.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Health Authority in the West Bank added that 14 civilians were killed, the highest death toll in months. After Israeli soldiers invaded and purged armed groups in the West Bank.
One woman said that on the day Israeli forces invaded Tolkham, every place in the city was closed. Not even the mosque, and her son was killed by an Israeli army sniper after praying.

Tolkham Refugee Camp, established in the 1950s, is located in the city of Tolkham. The northwestern part of the West Bank, with an area of about 0.18 square kilometers. It is one of the most densely populated refugee camps in the West Bank.
The West Bank is considered a Palestinian region. According to the conditions stipulated in the Oslo Accords of 1993 to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The West Bank is divided into three parts:
Area A – about 18% of the territory of Palestine. It has its own government and takes care of its security.
Area B – includes about 22% of the area granted to Palestine as a political authority. But maintaining security will be Israel's responsibility.
Area C – All remaining land held by Israel for both political and security purposes is the area where Jewish settlers lived and settled.
However, in the recent period, more and more Jews have gradually begun to colonize the West Bank. Especially in Area C, because the area is suitable for agriculture. The area is spacious, quiet and has ready infrastructure.
Jewish growth in Area C made life difficult for Palestinians. Because of the Israeli security services, they established security checkpoints and restricted the freedom of movement of Palestinians.
This has led to a significant increase in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But the situation in the region is getting worse. After Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7 of last year.
The Palestinian side has an armed protest group and some Palestinian extremists, which periodically attack Jewish settlers in the West Bank. Including raids and clashes with Israeli government security officials.
Since the war on Gaza, thousands of Palestinians have been arrested on security charges and throwing stones. Including deaths resulting from clearance operations carried out by the Israeli army and police. As for the Jews who settled in the West Bank, it also causes violence.
Back to April 13th. Dozens of Israeli settlers stormed a Palestinian village in the city of Ramallah in the West Bank.
Then he opened fire. Burning Palestinian cars and homes. As a result, one person died and at least 25 others were injured.
Many parties believe this is one of the factors that prompted Jewish settlers in the West Bank to create unrest in the West Bank. This is because of the war in Gaza and the negotiations. The two-state approach is being talked about openly at the international level
Because if the two-state approach can actually lead to the establishment of a Palestinian state, Jews living in the West Bank may have to move out of Palestine.
One of the prominent Jewish settlers in the West Bank was Bentz Gopstein, founder and leader of Lehava. A right-wing extremist group that is hostile to Arabs and Muslims. The number of group members is estimated at approximately 5,000.
This extremist Jewish settler is allied with Etama Ben Goer, the Israeli Minister of National Security. Who previously stated that they would execute Hamas prisoners captured by the government.
In the past, Bentz Gopstein attempted to incite local Jews against Palestine through various means, such as his campaign to end dating between Jews and Palestinians. After the attack on Palestine by a group of extremist Jewish settlers,
Last Friday, the US State Department announced a boycott of Bentz Gopstein, this extremist Jew. On charges of carrying out activities that “destabilize” stability and security in the West Bank.
In addition, the US State Department also imposed sanctions on two other funding agencies that support activities that “undermine” stability and security in the West Bank.
The American administration’s moves towards extremist Israeli settlers and creating a state of chaos among members of the extreme right in the current Israeli government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
Because these right-wing groups support the expansion of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. Including support for the annexation of the West Bank. It became part of the Land of Israel, although this part of the land is Palestine according to the 1967 agreement.
The annexation of Palestine according to the ideas of the extreme right-wing parties is something that the United States government does not agree to because it may lead to endless fighting and war between the two sides.
This boycott relates to the complex relationship between the US government and allies like Israel, tested by the raging war in Gaza.
Most recently, the American news agency Axios reported on Saturday that the American authorities were preparing to impose sanctions on the Netzah Yehuda Battalion of the Israeli army. For violating human rights in the West Bank
After this news spread, Prime Minister Netanyahu immediately issued a statement in response, stating that we will do everything in our power to protect the Netzah Battalion. Jews of deprivation

In addition to the conflict in the Land of Israel, there is another issue that many parties are still following, which is the conflict between Israel and Iran, and this seems to have decreased now. After Iran indicated that it would not retaliate against Israel.
Recently, the Iranian Supreme Leader also spoke about this matter, and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei met with senior Iranian military officials. He thanked him for the attack on the Land of Israel, saying that Iran has demonstrated its ability to attack Israel.
