Since Israel unleashed its brutal bombing campaign in Gaza on October 7 in the wake of a deadly Hamas attack, settler attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem have more than doubled from an average of three to eight incidents a day, according to the United Nations.
The spike in settler attacks have forced hundreds of Palestinians to flee their homes in the past three weeks amid the Israeli bombardment of Gaza that has killed more than 9,500 people.
Settlers are Israeli citizens who live on private Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The vast majority of the settlements have been built either entirely or partially on private Palestinian land.
More than 700,000 settlers, 10 percent of Israel’s nearly 7 million population now live in 150 settlements and 128 outposts dotting the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
A settlement is authorized by the Israeli government while an outpost is built without government authorization. Outposts can range from a small shanty of a few people to a community of up to 400 people. (Int’l Monitoring Desk)
