Settler attacks against Palestinian citizens and their property in the West Bank have seen a marked increase since October 7, 2023, amid data indicating an unprecedented escalation of violence and a rise in both human and material losses.
Statistics by the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) show that the total number of Palestinians killed by settlers during this period reached 41, with 17 killed in 2026, 16 in 2025, and 8 in 2024.
In the same context, the center documented 8,691 settler attacks, including 1,877 attacks from the beginning of 2026 until April 20, compared to 3,818 attacks during 2025, 2,286 attacks in 2024, and 710 attacks from October 7 until the end of 2023.
These figures reflect a dangerous upward trend in the pace of settler crimes, amid warnings of its repercussions on the ground and the possibility of a wider explosion of the situation in the West Bank.
