HRW: Settler Attacks Displace Palestinians
Human Rights Watch reported that the escalation of Israeli settler attacks in the West Bank since January 2023 has led to the displacement of approximately 5,900 Palestinians from 107 towns and residential communities, either partially or fully. The attacks include killings, shootings, physical assaults, sexual violence, arson, and property destruction, creating a forced environment that compels residents to leave their land. The organization warned that continued these violations could be considered a form of forced displacement under international law and called for international actions, including imposing sanctions and banning arms trade with settlements, to prevent future attacks and protect Palestinians.
