109 incidents of West Bank settler violence in first 10 days of Iran war — 5 Palestinians killed

The Yesh Din organization tallied 109 incidents of West Bank settler violence against Palestinian civilians over the first 10 days of the current war with Iran, with five Palestinians shot dead by settlers — none of whom were arrested. The recorded incidents occurred in 62 Palestinian towns, villages and residences and included shootings, physical assault, damage to property and various forms of threatening behavior. The data is based on cross-referenced public reports and publications from various sources. Yesh Din charged that 'violent settlers are the operational arm of the government in the West Bank' and alleged the activity 'is carried out under the cover of the state without the law being enforced.' Israeli bodies and the United Nations have both recorded increases in settler violence in recent months. The surge in West Bank settler violence during the Iran war follows a pattern seen in previous Israeli military operations: when Israeli security forces are focused on active war fronts, settler movements exploit reduced oversight to advance land seizures and intimidation campaigns. 109 incidents in 10 days averages nearly 11 per day — a significant escalation from baseline levels.
