Background
Raids and attacks were already taking lives in late 2021. In December, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian during a raid in Nablus and another man who, the army said, had tried to ram a checkpoint with his car.[9][10] An Israeli man was killed in a shooting near a settlement outpost.[11] Deadly attacks in Hadera, Bnei Brak and Tel Aviv in spring 2022 were followed by intensified Israeli raids in the occupied West Bank.[12][13][14][15] The UN's Middle East said that year was on course to be the deadliest for Palestinians in the territory since UN tracking began in 2005.[1] Palestinian officials reported nine people killed in an Israeli raid on Jenin in January 2023.[16] In July, Israel carried out a two-day operation in Jenin involving airstrikes and ground troops, with deaths, displacement and extensive destruction reported.[17][18]

The killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh drew several investigations. She was shot while covering an Israeli raid in Jenin in May 2022.[19] The UN human rights office concluded that Israeli forces fired the fatal shot.[20] US officials said fire from Israeli positions likely killed her, while the damaged bullet prevented a definitive forensic conclusion.[21] Israel's military later said there was a high probability that one of its soldiers had killed her unintentionally.[22]
Military operations intensified after Hamas's October 7, 2023 attack, and Palestinian deaths in the West Bank surged.[3] In January 2024, Israeli forces disguised as women and medics killed three men in a Jenin hospital whom Israel described as militants.[23] Raids across several cities followed in August.[24] After American activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was killed following a September protest, Israel's military said its soldiers had likely shot her unintentionally.[25] In February 2025, Israel deployed tanks, and Defence Minister Israel Katz said displaced residents would not be allowed to return home.[26] Human Rights Watch later alleged that forced expulsions from refugee camps amounted to and crimes against humanity.[27]
Settler violence also continued. In February 2023, settlers burned homes and cars after a Palestinian gunman killed two settlers.[2] The United States announced visa restrictions in December 2023 and sanctions in 2024; Britain also sanctioned settlers accused of abuses.[5][6][7] In July 2025, a Palestinian-American visiting relatives was beaten to death by settlers, according to his family and Palestinian officials.[28] In February 2026, Palestinian health officials and a witness said settlers shot dead another Palestinian-American during an attack on a village.[29] In August, US Ambassador Mike Huckabee condemned a settler siege of Palestinian homes as a horrific act of terror.[30] US pressure over settler violence grew in October 2026. After settlers attacked a Washington Post photojournalist and European diplomats, Israel arrested at least 10 suspects.[31][32] Israeli soldiers also detained about 80 Israelis and Americans, including New York congressional candidate Brad Lander, while they were harvesting olives.[33]
Settlement policy developed alongside the violence. In October 2021, Israel gave final approval to about 1,800 settler homes, and the United States said it strongly opposed the expansion.[34][35] Benjamin Netanyahu's incoming government prioritised in late 2022.[36] In 2024, Peace Now reported Israel's largest West Bank land seizure in three decades, and a monitoring group reported plans for thousands of settlement homes.[37][38] Israel announced further settlement expansion in 2025 and approved the E1 project, which Palestinians and rights groups said threatened a viable Palestinian state.[4][39][40] President Donald Trump opposed annexation, and Vice President JD Vance criticised a preliminary parliamentary vote supporting it.[41][42]
In February 2026, Israel approved a land-registration process that Palestinians condemned as de facto annexation.[8] European governments later condemned construction tenders for E1.[43] In September, Britain, Canada and France announced bans on imports from Israeli settlements.[44]
Violence continued through October 2026. Attacks on Palestinian farmers intensified during the olive harvest, and an Israeli court released nine of 10 suspects arrested over two settler attacks to house arrest.[45] Heidi Levine, a Washington Post journalist badly attacked by settlers, said the assault had only strengthened her resolve.[46] On October 23, four days before Israel's election, Israel's military said it had killed two gunmen who fatally shot two Israeli soldiers near Hebron. Israel ordered a closure of the West Bank, and Netanyahu said it was preparing a major military operation.[47] Two Israeli soldiers were killed near Hebron in late October, and the military operation that followed displaced thousands of Palestinians before Israeli forces withdrew from a neighborhood of the city in November.[48][49][50] Settler attacks on Palestinians also surged during the olive harvest.[51]
