Israel plans wider aggression, more seizures in occupied West Bank

The attacks forced around 32,000 Palestinians from their homes, according to the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA).

​​​​​​​Israeli military raids and attacks by illegal settlers have intensified across the occupied West Bank since the launch of its genocidal war in Gaza on October 7, 2023.

Under international law, the West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, is considered part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory and a core part of the territory of the State of Palestine. The transfer of an occupying power’s population into occupied territory is considered illegal under international law.

Despite this, Israel has accelerated the expansion of existing settlements and the construction of new ones in the occupied West Bank in recent years.
