The Palestinian authorities security forces that were entered recently to Hebron do not have any permission to defend Palestinians even if a settler is attacking them. This is what the agreement says between Israel and the PLO. These forces mission is only to collect weapons and to prevent any attack on Israel or Israeli civilians and soldiers. The Israelis are supposed to stop and prevent the Jewish settlers from attacking Palestinians but they do not for several reasons that one of them is that the Israeli government still believes that it is their right to stay in the West Bank through settlements (Yahuda ve Shemron).

The video was not used to encourage violence; the video was brought through the news channels to show what the Palestinians suffer in Hebron, exactly as Israel did when it brought destroyed buses near the wall to show the suicide bombings.

Two statements about your post mentioned above.

1) I heard recently that there was a build up of Fatah security forces in Hebron. Apart from this incident, has this resulted in an improvement of security conditions for the Palestinians?

2) Clearly videos of such injustice can bee used as fodder for recruitment by extremist groups. These videos are used to incite violence and kill even more innocents and civilians.
