Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank rose 63 percent during the first seven months of 2026, the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission reported. The commission, which documents settlement-related incidents, did not provide a breakdown of the exact number of attacks or specify their nature in publicly available statements.
The reported increase marks a significant escalation in violence across the territory. Palestinian communities have faced repeated attacks by settlers in recent years, with incidents ranging from property damage to physical assaults. The commission tracks such incidents as part of broader efforts to monitor settlement expansion and related security threats in occupied Palestinian lands.
