18 Attacks on Palestinian Symbols in West Bank
The Resistance Committee for the Wall and Settlements reported that Israeli occupation forces and settlers committed 18 attacks against Palestinian monuments and symbols in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since the beginning of 2026 until now. These assaults included the destruction of 16 memorials, monuments, tombs, and walls of Palestinian symbols, distributed across six governorates, with Nablus being the most targeted with six attacks. Most of these were carried out by the Israeli army. The attacks reflect an attempt to suppress the Palestinian national memory by destroying symbols that represent history and identity, often targeting places of communal connection such as cemeteries, educational institutions, and refugee camps. These acts result in both symbolic and material losses and underscore ongoing efforts to control the Palestinian symbolic landscape in the public sphere, with continued targeting and destruction of community memory symbols in an attempt to impose dominance and weaken collective awareness.
