There were also dozens who were subjected to field executions. The occupation had previously admitted to executing one of the detainees.
Australian sanctions on settlers in the West Bank
Following the lead of the European Union and the United States, Australia imposed financial sanctions and travel bans on 7 Israeli settlers and a settlement movement on Thursday for their involvement in violent acts against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to Al-Jazeera. Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong stated that the movement was responsible for inciting and committing violence against Palestinians, while the settlers were involved in "violent attacks against Palestinians" including "assaults, sexual assaults, and torture" resulting in serious injuries and death in some cases.
