Hazem Qassem, Hamas' spokesperson, stated that Haaretz' exposure of the settlers' involvement in the occupation's army's killing of 11 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank in May reflects the involvement of the entire Zionist community in the aggression against the Palestinian people.

He added that the settlers not only stole the Palestinian lands, but are also the heart of the Zionist project and must be fought and expelled from the Palestinian lands.

An Israeli website revealed the conduct of operations by some militias including members of the occupation's army and settlers killing 11 Palestinians in one day in the West Bank at the same time of the aggression against the Gaza Strip.

An investigation was conducted by שיחה מקומית (Sikha Mikomit website) and B'Tselem and documented the murder of the 11 Palestinians with testimonies, pictures and clips.
