Israeli settler attacks in the occupied West Bank have injured over a thousand Palestinians so far this year, the UN reports — nearly more than the tally for the past two years combined.
As of November 24, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) for the occupied Palestinian territories had recorded 733 Palestinians confirmed injured by Israeli settlers, with an additional 324 injured either by Israeli soldiers or settlers amid settler attacks. This adds up to a total of 1,057 injured.
This is more than double the number of injuries in the previous year, which saw 362 injuries in confirmed settler attacks and 124 injuries that may have been done by soldiers amid the attacks, for a total of 486. It is also a drastic increase from 2023, when OCHA recorded 373 Palestinians injured by settler attacks.
These injuries are on top of 690 Palestinians, including 131 children, killed by Israeli forces or settlers between January 2024 and September 2025, OCHA © Truthout
