Israeli settler violence in the West Bank hit a record high in October 2025, with 264 attacks, displacing over 3,200 Palestinians and killing 42 children.

Israeli settler violence in the occupied West Bank reached its highest monthly level since records began in 2006, with 264 attacks documented in October 2025, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The attacks, averaging more than eight per day, caused casualties, property damage, and displaced over 3,200 Palestinians. Palestinian children were disproportionately affected, with 42 killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank by mid-November, accounting for one in five fatalities. Over 9,600 settler-related incidents have been recorded since 2006, including about 1,500 in 2025. The UN and most countries consider Israeli settlements illegal under international law, a stance Israel disputes.
