West Bank sees surge in Israeli raids, arrests, and settler violence

West Bank raids settler attacks Palestinian arrests Al-Aqsa Mosque house demolitions

The West Bank and Jerusalem have experienced a significant escalation in military raids, arrests, and settler violence. Israeli forces conducted widespread operations across multiple governorates, including Nablus, Hebron, Jenin, and Ramallah, resulting in the arrest of dozens of Palestinians. In Qalandiya, a two-story house was demolished, and similar demolitions and agricultural destruction were reported in areas near Nablus.

Settler activity has also increased, with reports of attacks on Palestinian property, including arson in Turmusaya and the destruction of water lines in Tubas. According to UNOCHA, over 1,330 settler attacks were recorded in the West Bank between early 2026 and July 20. In Hebron, an attack in the Al-Jabari neighborhood left ten people injured and eight others beaten.

In Jerusalem, tensions rose at the Al-Aqsa Mosque, where 174 Israelis entered the eastern section accompanied by rabbis to perform religious rituals, an act described by local authorities as a violation of the international status quo. Additionally, a Palestinian citizen was shot and injured near the separation wall in Beit Surik.
