Settler violence intensifies

24 February, 2026

Settlers’ rampages targeting Palestinians and their property are intensifying in the occupied West Bank unchecked, unabated, and with complete impunity. 
Settlers shot and killed 19-year-old-Nasrallah Abu Siam on the outskirts of Mikhmas outside of Jerusalem on 18 February. No arrests were made despite widely circulating video evidence identifying perpetrators. 
Since 17 February, at least 39 Palestinian families were forced out of their homes by settlers including:

⭕️ The last 10 families in Al Burj area, northern Jordan Valley, thus completing the clearing of Al Burj community of all Palestinian residents.

⭕️ Four families from Ein Siniya village, continuing the alarming increase of settler activity and forced displacement in Area B.

⭕️ Thirteen families from Al Khalayil area in Al Mughayyir village, Ramallah, including from Area B.

⭕️ Twelve refugee families from Rammun village, Ramallah.

Occupation must end. Settlement expansion must stop. Settlers must be removed from the West Bank.
