UN: Over 1,540 settler attacks in West Bank in 2026
A report from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has shown that violence and assaults by Israeli settlers significantly increased in the occupied Palestinian territories during 2026. More than 1,540 attacks have been documented, resulting in over 1,040 Palestinians injured since the beginning of the year. The period from August 11 to 24 witnessed a surge in these attacks, with 19 Palestinians killed and approximately 1,870 others injured by Israeli forces or settlers. Additionally, 79 Palestinian structures were demolished, and 16 families were displaced. The rising establishment of new settlement outposts and the imposition of movement restrictions have further limited Palestinians’ access to their lands, amid a growing number of settlement outposts in Areas B and the ongoing threat of forced displacement of Palestinian families.
