According to an investigation published by Al Jazeera, some settlers involved in attacks in the West Bank also appeared as soldiers or individuals wearing military uniforms. Combining video footage, facial recognition, and local testimonies, the report concluded that the overlap between these two identities has exacerbated the risks of violence and displacement faced by Palestinian communities. The aforementioned represents the investigative conclusions of the media outlet and the viewpoints of the interviewees, and does not generally apply to all Israeli soldiers or settlers.
