The U.S. sanctions Hilltop Youth, an Israeli extremist group, over West Bank violence.

The U.S. has sanctioned Hilltop Youth, an extremist Israeli group in the West Bank, due to violent attacks on Palestinians. The Treasury's sanctions include asset freezes and travel bans, also affecting two individuals linked to violence. This action aims to address escalating violence since the Israel-Hamas war began. Critics note the group's loosely organized structure may complicate enforcement, and the Biden administration has faced scrutiny for limited sanctions on Israeli extremists.
