Record rise in settler violence since start of 2025: Report

A notable escalation in Israeli settler violence has been reported across several areas of the occupied West Bank, the National Bureau for Defending Land and Resisting Settlements has warned.

"The occupation authorities are wreaking havoc and destruction in the West Bank and expanding their use of brutal tools in all villages and towns," the bureau's latest report read. 

It noted that the pace of settlement activity has only increased since October 2023, with settlers destroying agricultural land and infrastructure under the protection of Israeli forces.

Since the start of this year, at least 11 Palestinians have been killed in settler attacks, with over 696 wounded.
