None of the examples I cited where this, one of them was even an IDF investigation that found it has killed several children without there being a military target nearby.

>Do you acknowledge that some of those towns were there before the region was divided between Israel and Palestine?

Absolutely there were Jewish communities in the West Bank before 1948 or 1967 but not many. We also have a list of these settlements so you can see when they were founded

Note that these were built after Israel occupied the West Bank even though the West Bank is NOT Israeli territory
