On February 13, 2026, dozens of Palestinians were injured in a wave of attacks by Israeli settlers across the occupied West Bank. The attacks, which occurred in several towns and villages, included assaults on Palestinian farmers, destruction of olive trees, and vandalism of property. Israeli troops reportedly fired tear gas and live ammunition at residents attempting to defend themselves. According to the UN, over 1,054 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers between October 7, 2023, and February 5, 2026. These incidents occur amid a widely condemned Israeli push to solidify control over the occupied Palestinian territory, with Human Rights Watch alleging forced displacement amounting to war crimes.
