In the last few months, the frictions between settlers and Palestinians have increased in various centers in Yosh, which contributes to increasing the level of tensions in the area. The head of the village council, Karavet Bnei Hassan, accused that it was a deliberate shooting by a settler who intended to kill.
Shortly after the incident, the Hamas organization warned "the occupation and its fascist government" that "increasing their crimes while allowing pure Palestinian blood will generate more anger and resistance against your soldiers and your settlers."
