Violence by Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank is approaching record levels this year, according to reports tracking an increase in attacks on Palestinians. Human rights groups are observing that these incidents are spreading into new areas of the territory. The surge in attacks coincides with a rapid expansion of Israeli settlements, which are considered illegal under international law. Many of these attacks receive limited public reporting. The BBC has documented settler attacks on Palestinians over the past week, highlighting the ongoing nature of the violence. This trend suggests a concerning escalation in the occupied West Bank.
