The EU has imposed sanctions in response to violence by radical Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank.

Four organizations and three individuals are affected by the measures, which were announced on Thursday. They are accused of serious and systematic human rights violations.

Assets within the EU are being frozen, and entry and transit bans are also in place.

The EU aims to send a clear signal against the increasing violence by settlers.
