There have been 414 “nationalist crimes” committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank so far this year, up from 318 during the same period last year, Al Jazeera reports citing Israeli Army Radio.

The crimes include arson, stone-throwing, vandalism, assaults, and other forms of “violent confrontations”, according to “security establishment data” cited by Army Radio.

A senior Israeli military officer said the settler crimes are not only growing, but also getting severe.
