As Israel goes to the polls, settler attacks and expansion intensify in West Bank

Israel's elections are approaching, and tensions in the West Bank are escalating. Settler attacks against Palestinians have increased, with over 1,600 incidents recorded between January and August. This surge in violence is part of a broader trend, with more than 1,000 Palestinians killed in the West Bank over the last four years. The situation is further complicated by land seizures, movement curbs, and demolitions that have displaced thousands of Palestinians.
