Violence of the settlers has increased, according to the United Nations and Israeli humanitarian organizations. In these four and a half months, Israeli troops have killed almost 30,000 Palestinians.

The call-up of more than 300,000 Israeli reservists has led many settlers to now wear uniforms. Israel believes that the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) must be ended after accusing 12 of its 33,000 employees of having participated in the October 7 attack. The United States imposed sanctions against four settlers, whom it considers extremely violent.
