Khirbet Jib’it, 5 March 2020: Settlers steal 25 lambs.

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations.

B’Tselem calls on the Israeli public and the international community to use every tool available under international law to bring an immediate end to Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people.
