Escalating Settler Violence Threatens Palestinians in Nablus

Palestinians in the village of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank, are warning of deadly settler attacks following a recent increase in violence. Settler attacks, including shootings, stabbings, and arson, have been a daily reality for Palestinians since Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967. The villages south of Nablus, particularly, have been consistently targeted, with illegal Israeli settlements and outposts exacerbating the violence. The presence of settlements, the separation wall, and military checkpoints have turned the West Bank into disconnected Palestinian "enclaves" suffering from severe restrictions. Palestinians fear more attacks and warn of potential massacres in the area.
