UN figures show deteriorating situation in occupied West Bank
Every week, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) gives an update on the humanitarian situation in the occupied West Bank. Here are a few key facts from its latest report:
- This year, more than 1,500 Palestinians have been displaced by demolitions due to the lack of permits, which are almost impossible to obtain, including about 1,000 people in Area C and 500 in occupied East Jerusalem.
- Satellite imagery shows that about 1,460 structures have been destroyed or damaged in Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarem refugee camps.
- Since October 1, OCHA has documented 167 settler attacks related to this year’s olive harvest season, affecting 87 Palestinian communities.
- Between November 4 and 10, Israeli forces killed four Palestinians, including three children, in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem.
- Since January, 45 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli forces – about 23 percent of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank so far this year.
- Since January, Israeli forces’ operations in refugee camps in the northern West Bank – Jenin, Nur Shams and Tulkarem – have generated the longest and largest displacement crisis in the territory since 1967. As of September, UNRWA figures indicate that at least 31,919 Palestinian refugees have been displaced from the three refugee camps and surrounding areas.
Israel’s Shin Bet boss proposes electronic bracelets to curb settler violence
Israel’s Shin Bet Director David Zini has suggested the use of electronic monitoring bracelets for hardline illegal settlers as a way to stop growing violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Broadcaster Channel 12 cited Zini as saying electronic surveillance could be more effective at curbing violent settlers from attacking residents than the current move of issuing restraining orders against perpetrators.
According to the Palestinian government’s Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, illegal settlers have carried out 7,154 attacks across the West Bank since October 2023.
Combined settler and army assaults have caused the deaths of at least 1,072 Palestinians and injured at least 10,700 others during the same period.
In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
What's that going to do? The IDF coordinates, protects and assists the settler violence.
