In recent years — and especially since 7 October 2023 — there has been a sharp increase in both the number and severity of settler attacks against Palestinians. The incidents reported on this blog do not reflect all incidents of settler violence in the West Bank, but only those that B’Tselem was able to document and investigate.

About 40 settlers and soldiers returned and told ‘Abd al-Qader ‘Amer’s family to leave within two days, threatening to forcibly remove them if they did not. The family took down its residential structures and livestock enclosures that same day and moved to a site located four kilometers away for now.

In the early afternoon, soldiers and a settlement guard arrived in the community and told the two families living there to leave. The family of Amin Mleihat (Abu Salim), numbering a total of 13 people, including four minors, began taking down its residential shacks and livestock pens that day. As they were working, settlers and soldiers returned and demolished some of the structures. One residential shack and a livestock pen the family had not managed to take down remained at the site. The family left, and when they returned the next day, they discovered settlers had burnt down the structures.

Israel’s regime of apartheid and occupation is inextricably bound up in human rights violations. B’Tselem strives to end this regime, as that is the only way forward to a future in which human rights, democracy, liberty and equality are ensured to all people, both Palestinian and Israeli, living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.
