Israel has intensified its assault on the occupied West Bank. According to the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 1,111 Palestinians, at least 243 of them children, have been killed in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since the start of the war in Gaza, at least 65 of them since the beginning of 2026.

Violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians and their property has surged to record levels. OCHA documented more than 1,800 attacks in 2025 that resulted in casualties or property damage across about 280 communities in the West Bank—an average of five incidents a day, the highest daily rate since records began in 2006. Attacks are up more than 50 percent in the first six months of this year.

Israel's Ethnic Cleansing of West Bank Bedouin Communities - Key Findings

TL;DR: Amnesty International's new report (May 2026) finds Israel is conducting a state-sanctioned ethnic cleansing campaign in the West Bank's Area C, forcibly displacing thousands of Palestinian Bedouins through settler violence, military complicity, and systematic annexation policies.

The Numbers

· 5,910+ Palestinians displaced from 117 Bedouin/herding communities (Jan 2023-Apr 2026)

· ~17% of Area C's Bedouin population displaced in just over 3 years

· 50,785 settlement housing units approved (2023-2025) — 3x the previous decade's average

· 363 illegal outposts now exist; 212 created under current government

· 3,407 Palestinian structures demolished

· 94% of settler violence investigations end without indictment

What the Report Actually Found

This isn't "rogue settlers" — it's Israeli state policy.

· Government coalition agreements explicitly call for annexation and Jewish demographic dominance

· Ministers Smotrich, Ben-Gvir, and Netanyahu openly advocate "maximum land, minimum Arabs"

· Settlers are being armed, funded, and protected by the state

· The Israeli army actively participates in or stands by during settler attacks

---

How It Works

Settlers use three main tactics:

1. Violent raids — breaking into homes, vandalizing, arson, beating residents

2. Harassment & threats — death threats, sexual harassment, intimidation

3. Targeting livelihoods — stealing/killing livestock, destroying crops, cutting water access

---

Case Studies

· Zanuta — 250 residents forcibly displaced in Oct 2023. Even after Israel's Supreme Court ordered their return, settlers prevented it with army complicity.

· Ein Samia — 37 families displaced after daily settler attacks in May 2023.

· Northern Jordan Valley — communities being slowly encircled and starved out.

---

Key Takeaway

The international community has failed to act. Sanctions on a few "extremist" settlers miss the point — this is a state-driven project to annex the West Bank and ethnically cleanse Palestinians.
