2) On the same day, we again urgently appealed to the members of the small cabinet, the Chief of Staff, the head of the Shin Bet, and the Commissioner of Police, detailing another 108 (!) incidents of violence against Palestinians that had occurred in the West Bank since the previous appeal. The appeal stated that "the settlers' violent attack on Palestinians in the West Bank has so far claimed the lives of 7 Palestinians, led to the expulsion of 896 people from 15 different communities, and caused enormous damage to property, infrastructure, agricultural equipment, herds, trees, and fields [...]. Since the beginning of the war, nearly 200 violent incidents have occurred - an average of 8 incidents per day - an unprecedented record in scope and severity."
On November 9, 2023, we appealed to the Commander of Central Command to order the army forces in the field to immediately stop the forced expulsion of herding communities from their homes by violent settlers, and to allow the return of the communities that were forced to leave, while protecting their lives and property. The appeal listed 15 communities in which all the residents - 874 people - were forcibly transferred from their homes, and six additional communities in which several threatened families left and the rest of the community remains threatened. In the appeal, Attorney Roni Peli emphasized that the army's policy of abandoning Palestinian residents violates the obligation to protect protected residents from violence and threats and the prohibition on the systematic forcible transfer of protected people, both of which are stipulated in the Fourth Geneva Convention.
