Civilians or Soldiers? Settler violence in the West Bank
While violence in the West Bank is far from a new phenomenon, a sharp rise in settler violence in recent years turned into a tsunami following Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. Emboldened by the Israeli far-right government, settlers see the ongoing war in Gaza as an opportunity to push forward their agenda of forcing Palestinians to leave their villages.
Local government officials and administrators frequently come under attack by a wide array of armed actors, from cartels waging turf wars in Mexico to Russian occupying forces in Ukraine. In order to better analyze this trend and its impacts, ACLED has launched a project to systematically track incidents of violence targeting local officials.
