The violence has surged since the Gaza war, with international bodies and Israeli officials condemning the incidents, though settler violence often goes unpunished. The Israeli president condemned the recent attacks, calling for decisive action, amid broader concerns of impunity and rising violence in the region.

Israeli Settlers' Attacks Escalate in West Bank

A group of around 15 Jewish settlers from the West Bank settlement of Yitzhar reportedly set a car on fire and attempted to set a building ablaze in the village of Asira al-Qibliya, according to an Israeli security official. These incidents come amidst a surge in settler violence in the West Bank and efforts to clear land for future settlements, and follow unprecedented sanctions by the U.K. and U.S. against four extremist Israeli settlers.

Escalating Settler Violence Threatens Palestinians in Nablus

Palestinians in the village of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, are warning of deadly settler attacks following a recent increase in violence. Settler attacks, including shootings, stabbings, and arson, have been a daily reality for Palestinians since Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967. The villages south of Nablus, particularly, have been consistently targeted, with illegal Israeli settlements and outposts exacerbating the violence. The presence of settlements, the separation wall, and military checkpoints have turned the West Bank into disconnected Palestinian "enclaves" suffering from severe restrictions. Palestinians fear more attacks and warn of potential massacres in the area.

Escalating Israeli Attacks on Palestinians in West Bank

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are reporting an increase in attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers, as tensions rise amid the ongoing conflict with Gaza. At least 55 Palestinians have been killed and over 1,100 injured since last Saturday. Human rights activists argue that the Israeli army is violating international laws by targeting civilians. Incidents include Israeli soldiers shooting at civilian cars and settlers opening fire on Palestinian vehicles. Palestinian drivers are also facing increased danger on the roads due to checkpoint closures and settler attacks. Critics argue that these actions are part of a larger Israeli plan to pressure and displace the Palestinian population.

Escalating Settler Attacks in Occupied Palestinian Territory: UN Reports Nearly 600 Incidents

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported a significant increase in settler attacks on Palestinians and their property in the West Bank, with nearly 600 incidents recorded in the first six months of 2023. This marks a 39% increase compared to the monthly average of 2022, which was already the highest since recording began in 2006. The rise in attacks has led to Palestinian casualties, property damage, and displacement of herding communities. OCHA has emphasized the vulnerability of Bedouin and other herding communities and highlighted the impact of Israeli settlements on livelihoods, food security, and access to essential services.

Escalating West Bank violence sparks international concern and moral reflection

Rabbi Mosheh Lichtenstein, the co-head of the prestigious Har Etzion religious seminary in the West Bank, issued a strong condemnation of recent settler attacks on Palestinian villages, calling them a moral stain on all of them. He expressed disappointment that key leaders had not condemned the attacks and emphasized the need for serious soul-searching. Lichtenstein highlighted that the central problem with these attacks is the moral wrong they represent, and warned that they undermine claims to morality in the face of those who harm them. He also linked the violence to broader issues of violence in Israeli society and called for comprehensive action to address it.

Escalating Violence in West Bank Raises Concerns for Israel's Control.

Israeli ministers and lawmakers in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hardline coalition have rejected the criticism leveled by the military and the defense establishment against the “terrorism” of extremist settlers who have attacked Palestinians in recent days. The heads of the military, the Shin Bet, and the police issued a joint statement on Saturday evening strongly condemning the ongoing settler attacks in the West Bank and branding them “nationalist terrorism in the full sense of the term.” Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, head of the coalition’s far-right Religious Zionism party, prodded the military and the security forces for a stronger response to Palestinian terrorism, and appeared to suggest that law enforcement takes a heavier hand with settlers compared to other communities.
