Zionist troops and settlers carried out 3,133 attacks across West Bank in October

The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said in the report released on Monday that Zionist regime’s forces were responsible for 1,764 attacks, while settlers carried out 1,369, representing a 111.6% monthly increase in settler assaults.

The violent attacks included shootings, physical assaults, property destruction, burning of trees and vehicles, land seizures, road closures and restrictions on Palestinians' access to their agricultural lands.

The report comes amid escalating Zionist regime’s military offensive and settler violence across the occupied West Bank, including East al-Quds, since the outbreak of Israel's genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip in October 2023.

The period has also witnessed intensified military raids, movement restrictions, forced displacement of Palestinian communities and the expansion of Israeli settlements and outposts across the occupied territory.

In a landmark advisory opinion issued in July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's continued presence in the occupied Palestinian territory unlawful and called for an end to its occupation and the evacuation of settlements.

The developments come as Zionist regime’s forces have imposed closures on the West Bank city of al-Khalil and nearby villages, taken over homes for use as military posts, and carried out demolitions and infrastructure damage that have disrupted residents’ daily lives.

The Zionist regime’s occupation army launched its offensive in al-Khalil on October 23 following an operation by two Palestinians that killed two Israeli soldiers and injured three others near a checkpoint. The army later martyred the two Palestinians.

Since then, Zionist regime’s forces have imposed a comprehensive military closure on al-Khalil and surrounding villages, seizing Palestinian homes in the Jalda and Ain Deir Baha neighborhoods and converting them into military barracks, with Israeli flags raised above them.
