In the three years since Hamas attacked Israel and Israel responded with a military campaign in Gaza,
much of the world's attention has been focused there.
But in the West Bank over the past three years, a longstanding pattern has become more concerning.
There are growing numbers of attacks on Palestinians by Israeli settlers.
There are some acts of daily harassment like trespassing on Palestinian property,
vandalism, stalking people, blocking roads and preventing access to resources like water wells.
There are also acts of extreme violence.
There have been some very serious physical assaults, settlers throwing rocks with slingshots.
Last year, there was a viral video of an elderly woman who was beaten with a stick.
She was hospitalized for days.
And lately, we've been seeing more mob violence where a large group of settlers will raid a Palestinian village.
They've set mosques and other property on fire.
