An Israeli settler was killed in a shooting operation in the Oyoun al-Haramiyah area to the north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, on Sunday.

Israeli media outlets said that the settler was shot and killed while he was driving his car on the road linking the city of Ramallah to Nablus. The road linking the two Palestinian cities cuts between multiple illegal Israeli settlements that were built on usurped properties.

The operation comes amid continued Israeli violations against Palestinians in the West Bank, paired with a brutal genocidal war on the Gaza Strip. 

Israeli settlers and authorities have carried on expansionist policies in the West Bank, where at least nine new colonial outposts were erected since October 7, while Israeli occupation forces carry out near-daily raids on town and refugee camps.

These raids have mainly targeted the governates of Tulkarm and Jenin, with the latest incursion into Jenin ending on a bitter note for occupation forces, who were ambushed by Resistance fighters.

In Jenin alone, 80 Palestinians have been martyred by the occupation's drone strikes or direct gunfire.

Moreover, settlers have been fencing off open areas in Area C, which falls under the direct jurisdiction of the Israeli occupation government, according to the Oslo agreement.

It is worth noting that Area C comprises the largest territory in the West Bank and contains grazing and agricultural lands, which have been the focus of settlers who seek to push Palestinians from their land, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces.

The current Israeli government, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu, has adopted a fierce, violent expansionist policy in the occupied West Bank. Arming settlers with assault rifles has been a trademark of the occupation's Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.

Additionally, the occupation has protected extremists who have desecrated religious sanctities in al-Quds. All previously mentioned violations motivated the Palestinian Resistance in the Gaza Strip to launch Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, which exposed the occupation's fragility.
