The West Bank is witnessing a continuous escalation in settler attacks, which are expanding to include homes, property, and agricultural land, coinciding with the olive harvest season. During October, 1369 attacks were recorded, an increase of over 111% compared to the previous month, amid attacks that resulted in injuries and material damage. In the Ramallah governorate, settlers attacked Palestinian homes and property in the town of Atara north of the city, and physically assaulted a number of residents, resulting in injuries, including a 67-year-old elderly man. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews treated the elderly man and transferred him to Ramallah hospitals for treatment. Local sources reported that the attack included the smashing of several vehicles. The assault came after the demolition of an outpost built on the town's land in August 2025. Following the incident, occupation forces closed the Atara and Ein Sinya checkpoints north of Ramallah and tightened their military measures. In the Jericho and Jordan Valley governorate, the Al-Baidar rights organization reported that 13 sheep belonging to a resident in the Al-Auja area died after settlers poisoned them.
