West Bank: Escalating settlement growth and violence

Overview

Since the July 2023 escalation, Israeli forces have intensified raids across the West Bank and East Jerusalem, while settler militias have increased arson and property destruction. In late 2026, settlement activity accelerated, with the Israeli government authorizing 104 new settlements and approving 1.3 billion shekels for 34 more. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has promoted the E1 project, claiming it “buries the idea of a Palestinian state.” By September 2026, land seizure and settlement expansion reached critical levels, potentially isolating northern Palestinian governorates like Jenin and Nablus into disconnected enclaves.

Recent reports from the Commission Against the Separation Wall and Settlements highlight a pattern where de facto settlements, including mobile structures and new roads, are established before official planning processes begin. Concurrently, UN Special Rapporteur Reem Alsalem has raised alarms regarding the targeting of Palestinian women, particularly the elderly, by settlers.

Violence has also targeted agricultural livelihoods and international presence. During olive harvests, extremist settlers have been reported stealing harvests and using sticks to strike trees. In a separate incident, two Italian nationals reported being detained, blindfolded, and beaten by Israeli police near Masafer Yatta while attempting to deliver funds to a Palestinian organization. Rights groups, such as Yesh Din, note that military restrictions often prevent Palestinians from accessing olive groves while allowing settlers free movement. As of October 2026, the Commission documented 62,916 total attacks since October 2023, with the military accounting for 48,174 incidents and settlers for 14,742.
