The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has published a comprehensive map documenting more than 5,330 alleged extremist violent attacks by Jewish settlers on Palestinians in the West Bank.
The data covers the period from the start of 2023 through April of this year, highlighting incidents that resulted in casualties, property damage, or both.
The release underscores a sharp escalation in regional violence, corroborating earlier reports that indicated a 130% rise in such attacks since 2023.
