Jewish settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has reached record levels.
October was on track to be “the most violent month” since UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees, began documenting settler violence in 2013.
UN monitoring group OCHA also recorded the highest number of settler attacks in a single month since they began documenting incidents in 2006, with more than 260 settler attacks on Palestinians and their property.
This was an average of eight incidents per day.
OCHA documented some 150 harvest-related settler attacks on Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank during the season so far. This compares to 110 during the same period last year, and 30 to 46 attacks between 2020 and 2023.
More than 140 Palestinians have been injured in these attacks. …..more
