Israeli settlers have committed over 100 assaults against Palestinians since the start of the war, according to the human rights NGO Yesh Din.
The attacks have reportedly taken place in at least 62 different West Bank localities, and have caused the death of at least six Palestinians with live ammunition.
Four Palestinians were killed in clashes with settlers in the West Bank village of Qusra, close to Nablus, on October 11, and two more were gunned down the following day when Israeli settlers opened fire on a funeral procession.
In addition, Israeli settlers have caused damage to Palestinian property, torching homes and vehicles and uprooting trees. They are accused of displacing communities of Bedouin shepherds.
The NGO claims that not a single settler has been detained, arrested or investigated.
In total, since the start of the war between Hamas and Israel, 96 West Bank Palestinians have been killed, the NGO reports.
Clashes have repeatedly taken place between IDF forces and Palestinians in the West Bank in the days since October 7, with the army reporting several attempted terror attacks.
