Deep dives
Israeli Settler Violence Increases
Settler violence in the West Bank has surged dramatically, with over 700 attacks recorded since the onset of conflicts in Gaza. This violence has largely gone unpunished, with rights groups indicating that 94% of these incidents do not lead to indictments. In one alarming incident, hundreds of armed Israeli settlers rampaged through the Palestinian village of Al Mugheir after a 14-year-old boy went missing, leading to destruction of property and the death of a Palestinian man. Reports indicate that Israeli forces were present during these assaults, contributing to a pervasive sense of vulnerability and fear among Palestinian communities.
