Israeli military raids and attacks by Israeli settlers have injured at least 19 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian health officials and local media reports.
Israeli forces reportedly shot and wounded three Palestinians who attempted to enter occupied East Jerusalem near the separation wall in ar-Ram.
In Tubas, the Palestine Red Crescent Society treated at least 11 Palestinians, including four children, for injuries and tear-gas inhalation during Israeli army raids.
In Masafer Yatta, south of Hebron, armed settlers allegedly beat an elderly Palestinian man. Israeli forces later raided his home, damaged property and confiscated family members’ phones, according to the Palestinian news agency Wafa.
The Red Crescent also reported that two young men were hospitalised after allegedly being beaten by settlers in Arrabeh, south of Jenin. A 15-year-old boy was also hospitalised following a severe beating in Tammun, while another child was injured in a separate settler attack.
The latest incidents came a day after Israeli forces and settlers reportedly killed two Palestinians in separate incidents in Hebron and Jenin.
Meanwhile, Palestinian families in Qusra, south of Nablus, remained surrounded in their homes for a 14th consecutive day as settlers maintained a siege, with Israeli forces imposing a closed military zone around the area.
Palestinian officials accused the Israeli army of failing to stop the attacks, saying the situation could contribute to the forced displacement of Palestinian families.
According to UN figures cited in the report, more than 1,330 settler-related attacks against Palestinians were recorded in the occupied West Bank between January and late July 2026—an average of about six attacks every day.
More than 2,300 Palestinians have reportedly been displaced from their homes this year because of settler violence and related restrictions.
The Palestinian Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission estimates that about 780,000 Israeli settlers live across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, in settlements and outposts.
A UN-appointed commission of inquiry has also said Israeli authorities repeatedly failed to prevent foreseeable settler attacks and, in some cases, allegedly enabled them through military protection and the provision of weapons and funding.
