The Quds Governorate warned against the Israeli occupation authorities' approval of Plan (200/5), which permits the establishment of 9 shooting ranges at settlement sites in Quds, among 31 sites in the West Bank, and considered it an expansion of the armed settlement infrastructure and a strengthening of the "settler terrorism" system.

The nine sites in Quds are: Adam, Givat HaHadasha, Kochav Yaakov, Tel Zion, Migron HaHadasha, Kfar Adumim, Alon, Nofei Prat, and Anatot.

The plan combines facilitating the acquisition of firearms, arming settlements, organizing settlers into armed frameworks, and providing sites for training them in the use of weapons. It comes in the context of policies that escalated after 7 October 2023, including expanding weapons licenses, activating "settlement emergency teams" and "regional defense battalions," and distributing thousands of weapons and firearms to settlements.

According to the statement, settler attacks in Qud since the beginning of this year have resulted in the martyrdom of 4 Palestinians and the recording of 465 attacks, including 72 attacks involving physical abuse. The governorate called on the international community to act urgently to stop the arming of settlers and to hold the occupation accountable.
