Violent settler activity rising in the West Bank

Since Oct. 7, there has been an increase in violent settler activity across the West Bank, with more than 260 Palestinians killed. There are also accusations of an increasingly blurred line between settlers and military forces. According to the UN, IDF forces accompanied or supported settlers during about half of recent settler attacks. Reporter Rebecca Rosman met with two farmers in a village near Ramallah who say their land was violently taken shortly after the start of the war.
