Hilltop Youth: A group intent on taking over the West Bank by violence

For years, a settler group known as the “Hilltop Youth” has spread destruction, fear, and danger in Palestinian communities across the occupied West Bank. It’s comprised mostly of young Israeli settlers, intent on taking over the occupied West Bank by whatever means possible, including deadly violence. Over the years, the Hilltop Youth intensified in size, violence, and influence over Israeli policy, as Jewish Israeli voters veered increasingly towards the right. The number of settler attacks in the occupied West Bank is breaking records. AdvertisementThe Hilltop Youth were once identified as a fringe group.
