  • Violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has sharply increased, involving Israeli military operations, airstrikes and settler attacks.
  • The United Nations told the Security Council in mid-August that 76 Palestinians, including 18 children, had been killed by Israeli forces or settlers since the start of the year.
  • The UN had also documented more than 1,430 settler incidents that caused injuries or property damage, while a new report says the violence serves a broader goal of redrawing the map.

Violence is escalating across the occupied West Bank. Israeli military operations and airstrikes are expanding, while settler attacks are reaching deeper into Palestinian villages and residential areas.

The violence also includes the establishment of new outposts and the displacement of Palestinian families. According to a new report, these developments are not isolated events but part of a broader objective: redrawing the map of the West Bank.

The United Nations told the Security Council in mid-August that 76 Palestinians had been killed in the West Bank since the beginning of the year by Israeli forces or settlers. The dead included 18 children.

The UN had also recorded more than 1,430 incidents involving Israeli settlers that resulted in injuries or damage to property. Together, the figures point to a widening pattern of violence alongside the military attacks and the spread of settlements.
