Amid intensifying violence in the West Bank, Israeli forces have killed a third Palestinian within just 24 hours, according to reports from the local health ministry. This spike in fatalities comes alongside a sharp increase in attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinian villages across the occupied territory.

Amidst the turmoil, the Palestinian Authority has observed a significant rise in settlements being established by Jewish settlers, citing the erection of tents in seven new locations over the past ten days. This uptick in settler activity, perceived as illegal by most nations, has accelerated since the onset of the Gaza war.

In Rammun, east of Ramallah, the latest aggression saw settlers torching vehicles and vandalizing homes with racist slogans. Meanwhile, homes and crops in nearby villages have suffered similar fates as tensions continue to mount, prompting displacement and distress across the region.
