Israeli settlers have carried out a series of attacks across the occupied West Bank, setting homes and vehicles on fire and wounding several Palestinians in what witnesses described as coordinated raids on communities. Israeli forces and settlers have killed more than 1,000 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023, according to the UN. The UN has said Israeli policies in the West Bank risk forcibly displacing Palestinian communities. The leader of Israel’s centre-left Democrats, Yair Golan, condemned the violence on Sunday and accused the government of enabling lawlessness in the occupied West Bank. Israel has killed at least 26 Palestinians in the West Bank since the beginning of the year, of whom at least 18 were shot by the military.
