Latest attacks come amid a widely condemned Israeli push to cement control over the occupied Palestinian territory.
Dozens of Palestinians were injured during recent attacks by Israeli settlers across the occupied West Bank, with at least 54 wounded on Friday as property was vandalized and olive trees destroyed. The violence has intensified alongside Israel’s controversial plans to extend control over the region, drawing international condemnation for potential violations of human rights. Over 1,000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers since October 2023, amid ongoing displacement and violence. UN officials warn that these actions threaten the demographic and social fabric of the occupied territories.
