UN human rights experts have warned that violent attacks against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, including physical assaults and property demolitions carried out by Israeli settlers, have increased drastically in recent months.
More than 210 violent incidents by settlers were recorded during the first three months of 2021, including one Palestinian death, the report said.
In all of 2020, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) documented 771 incidents of settler violence, which caused injuries to 133 Palestinians, mostly in the areas of Hebron, Jerusalem, Nablus and Ramallah.
They also documented deliberate damage caused to 9,646 trees and 184 vehicles.
