“In the West Bank, escalating violence over the past few days is also a matter of grave concern,” it added. “Three Israeli soldiers suffered injuries after they were hit with stones. It was also reported that settlers established at least two new outposts in the past two days in the Jordan Valley and South Hebron Hills, near Palestinian communities that have been attacked repeatedly by settlers in the past months and are at imminent risk of being forcibly transferred from their homes and land.”
The West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has experienced a surge in violence since early last year. At least 468 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers across the West Bank since the Israel-Hamas war erupted in Gaza on 7 October, according to official Palestinian sources.A Palestinian child holds a candy bar inside a damaged shop following an attack by Israeli settlers the previous night in the West Bank village of Qusra, near Nablus, 14 April 2024.
