In a one-minute video recorded on Thursday by a resident of the Aida refugee camp in the West Bank, an Israeli border officer speaking in Arabic broadcasts the message via a loudspeaker as an Israeli jeep drives through the street.

"People of Aida refugee camp, we are the occupation forces. You throw stones, and we will hit you with gas until you all die. The children, the youth, the old people – you will all die. We won't leave any of you alive," the officer says.

Earlier that day, Israeli border police arrested a 25-year-old Palestinian, who was ultimately released, Al Jazeera reported.

"We have arrested one of you. He is with us now. We took him from his home, and we will slaughter and kill him while you watch if you keep throwing stones," the officer continues.

"Go home or we will gas you until you die. Your families, your children, everyone – we will kill you."

Yazan Ikhlayel, 17, recorded the video after Israeli forces raided the camp during a protest against the occupation and fired tear gas, reportedly in response to Palestinian youths hurling stones at Israel's separation wall.

"The most important thing I want people to see when they watch this video is to realize what the Israeli 'democracy' really is," Ikhlayel told Middle East Eye.

"They have said it for us now, they are an occupation – they said 'we are the occupation army.' It is proof, this is an apartheid country, it is not democratic at all."

The border officer who made the threat has since been suspended, the Times of Israel reported.

The Badil Resource Centre for Palestinian Residency and Refugee Rights called the message a clear threat to kill Palestinians by way of extrajudicial executions, which would breach the Geneva Conventions.

"Such an announcement is remarkable in its stated contempt for human life, as well as raising a multitude of grave concerns as to the adherence of Israeli forces to central tenets of international law," Badil said in a statement.

On Sunday, the Palestinian news agency Ma'an released a report quoting a Red Crescent spokesperson as saying that at least 760 Palestinians were shot with live rounds across the occupied Palestinian territory, while another 1,857 were hit with rubber-coated steel bullets.

At least 5,645 Palestinians sustained injuries, including burns from tear gas canisters and excessive tear gas inhalation.

At least 72 Palestinians were also killed in Palestinian territories by Israeli soldiers in October.

Tensions have been running high over the past several weeks between the Israeli regime and Palestinians in the occupied territories.

The latest wave of tensions was triggered by Israel’s imposition in August of restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem).

The number of Israelis killed in the same period has been put at 10, while 130 others have allegedly been injured.

The unrest seemed unabated at the start of November with new clashes leaving two more Palestinians injured by live rounds in a refugee camp on Sunday, according to medics in the besieged Gaza Strip.

A Palestinian was also shot dead by Israeli forces in the village of Beit Einun in the occupied West Bank in what is being called as the first death this month by Palestinian media.

Israeli forces shot and injured two Palestinians with live rounds in the village of Sair near the West Bank city of al-Khalil (Hebron).

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Palestinians in the West Bank has been the deadliest since an uprising a decade ago.
