Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians reach record number in October, U.N. says
The United Nations recorded an average of eight attacks per day by Israeli settlers in the West Bank, the highest monthly total since 2006, amid ongoing settlement expansion.
- On Friday the United Nations reported at least 264 attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank during October, the highest monthly total since 2006.
- Home to 2.7 million Palestinians, the West Bank is central to plans for a future Palestinian state but has been fragmented by settlement expansion by successive Israeli governments.
- OCHA said the attacks averaged eight incidents per day and caused casualties and property damage, with 42 Palestinian children killed by Israeli forces this year.
- Despite a U.S.-brokered ceasefire in October, Israel's mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the West Bank attacks.
- Since 2006, OCHA has documented over 9,600 attacks, about 1,500 this year, while over half a million Israeli settlers live in the West Bank.
