Israeli watchdog: 2023 was ‘most violent’ year on record for settler attacks
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli settlers killed at least 10 Palestinians and torched dozens of homes in the West Bank in 2023, making it the “most violent” year on record for settler attacks, an Israeli watchdog says.
Numerous West Bank attacks were carried out by large groups of settlers, and the violence spiked after Hamas’s October 7 attacks on Israel, says the Yesh Din organization.
Violence has surged across the West Bank over the past year and a half, with a rise in Palestinian shooting attacks against Israeli civilians and troops, near-nightly arrest raids by the military, and an uptick in revenge attacks by extremist Jewish settlers against Palestinians.
