The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has reported a rise in settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

According to the report, settlers carried out 13 attacks, resulting in 4 injuries, the displacement of two families (6 individuals), and the destruction of property, vehicles, and agricultural land. Over the past three weeks, OCHA documented five incidents involving the abduction and detention of Palestinians by settlers in the governorates of Nablus, Ramallah, and Hebron.

The report also highlighted a disturbing incident in Beit Furik, east of Nablus, where settlers chased children with knives and stones, and abducted a 13-year-old girl and her 3-year-old brother, later found tied to a tree inside the town.
