United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs: a jump in the number of settler attacks against Palestinians

Data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs showed that the average monthly settler attacks against Palestinians during 2023 amounted to 95 attacks.

According to that data, as reported in Haaretz newspaper, on Friday morning 6-30-2023, 3 settler attacks on Palestinians are recorded daily, including on Saturdays and holidays.

The data indicates that from the beginning of this year until the twenty-sixth of June 2023, hundreds of settlers participated in about 570 different attacks, and about 160 of them ended with physical injuries to Palestinians, one of which led to the death of a Palestinian, and the occurrence of various actual injuries that do not include trauma and anxiety.

And in the past year 2022, 71 attacks were recorded on a monthly average against Palestinians, as 849 different attacks were carried out, resulting in the injury of 228 Palestinians. It is almost the same as in the year before 335.

The Hebrew newspaper pointed out that these numbers recorded this year are not final, especially with settlers doubling their attacks in the last two weeks, and that these data do not include settler harassment of Palestinians, which did not result in injuries to lives and property, such as blocking roads, threats, shooting in the air, and encroaching on lands, springs, etc.

Haaretz says: The settlers, whom it described as (troublemakers), enjoy the support of their supporters in the current Netanyahu government.
