Settler attacks on the the West Bank reach highest level since 2006, says the UN

Recent reports indicate a troubling escalation of violence in the West Bank, particularly during the olive harvest season, a time traditionally marked by communal gathering and agricultural activity. The UN's documentation of over 126 settler attacks highlights a disturbing trend, which has drawn attention from Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who described the violence as 'shocking' and called for its cessation. Additionally, incidents of masked settlers attacking Palestinian villages and clashing with IDF soldiers further illustrate the volatile situation, emphasizing the urgent need for intervention and dialogue to protect Palestinian rights and safety.
