West Bank settler attacks rise 63 percent
The assaults by settlers in the West Bank sharply escalated at the beginning of 2026, reaching 4,113 incidents in the first seven months of the year. This represents a 63% increase compared to 2025, which recorded 2,524 incidents. Data confirms that these attacks have exceeded last year's levels, expanding both geographically and in frequency, with the highest numbers occurring in June and July, at 748 and 798 incidents respectively. The authority links this escalation to the policies of the Israeli far-right government, including the expansion of settlement outposts, arming of settlers, restricting Palestinian access, as well as the deterioration of the international community's stance, the weakening of deterrence tools and accountability measures. All of this fosters an environment conducive to violence, leading to the decline of Palestinian communities and the displacement of residents.
