Israel has forcibly displaced more than 36,000 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank in one year, the United Nations says, warning that illegal Israeli settlement expansion and a push to annex the territory are accelerating. Tuesday’s report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights documented 1,732 incidents of Israeli settler violence causing casualties or property damage from November 2024 to the end of October last year. That includes about 32,000 Palestinians who were forced out of the Jenin, Tulkarem, Nur Shams and Far’a refugee camps in the north of the territory during an Israeli army operation. ” Palestinians in the West Bank have faced an intensified surge in Israeli military and settler attacks in the shadow of Israel’s genocidal war against Palestinians in Gaza, which began in October 2023. Attacks have been reported daily across the West Bank, with at least 1,071 Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers there since the start of the Gaza war, according to the latest UN figures. Ali Khaled Bani Owda, Waed Bani Owda and two of their children – Othman, 7, and Mohammad, 5 – were killed when Israeli soldiers opened fire on their car in the village of Tammun near Tubas in the northern West Bank.
