The human rights center B’Tselem confirmed that “Israel” has killed 1,003 Palestinians in the West Bank since October 2023, accusing it of carrying out “ethnic cleansing” in the West Bank without restraint.

The center explained that settlers launch daily attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank and enjoy complete impunity. It noted that in 21 killing cases carried out by settlers against Palestinians, no conviction or accountability decision was issued.

B’Tselem also pointed out that since October 2023, the Israeli forces have armed thousands of settlers and recruited them inside settlements, which has intensified violence and violations against Palestinians.

According to data from the Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission, attacks by IOF and settlers since 2023 have resulted in around 11,000 Palestinians injured and more than 20,000 arrested.
