On January 25, 2026, Israeli forces fatally shot Ammar Hijazi, a 34-year-old Palestinian man from Nablus, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health. The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Hijazi was shot while driving. Separately, a child was detained by the Israeli military in Mukhmas. Attacks by Israeli soldiers and settlers against Palestinians in the West Bank have been intensifying, alongside settlement expansion. Settlers, emboldened by the current Israeli government, have been assaulting Palestinians, destroying property, and receiving increased gun licenses, leading to concerns about the undermining of a two-state solution.
