Attacks by Israeli colonists on Palestinians in the West Bank doubled in 2018, occurring almost twice a day.

The attacks, which reach the point of terrorism, come from a political tendency that labels them as reprisals for occasional Palestinian terrorism. The reprisals are launched against victims chosen simply for being Palestinian and conveniently available.

This is on top of official Israeli government retaliation against the families of Palestinian terrorists.

Two Israeli soldiers that attacked and injured Palestinians as retaliation have been sentenced to prison by the army.
