Conclusion Since the beginning of the war in Gaza in October 2023, the various arms of the Israeli apartheid regime have greatly increased their use of violence and other op- pressive measures against Palestinians. The Palestinians abused in central Hebron, most of them young men going about their daily affairs, were easy targets. The soldiers who attacked them, like the gov- ernment and many Jewish-Israelis, see them as collectively responsible for the ac- tions of Hamas. This approach makes it permissible to harm them with no moral or other compunction. In such a public climate, extreme violence is considered inherent to fighting the enemy, as is its use to instill fear in the entire Palestinian population. The violence inflicted by soldiers, who understand what is expected of them and rise to the task, is extremely injurious to the lives, wellbeing and safety of Palestinians. This, alongside the fact that law enforcement regarding harm to Palestinians and their property is virtually nonexistent, means the routine violence is likely to continue unchecked.

>>The scope of violence revealed in the testimonies – carried out in plain sight, andsometimes recorded – makes it clear that the abuse cannot be explained only as apersonal vendetta by soldiers or a flaw in the system. It shows that this violence is the outcome of a systematic, longstanding policy of oppression, expulsion and
dispossession that is at the very core of the Israeli apartheid regime<<
