Key Highlights
Eleven Palestinians, including a woman and a child, were killed by Israeli forces during a two-day operation in Tulkarm and Tubas, between 10 and 12 September; eight of them were hit by airstrikes.
At least 82 Palestinian households, comprising 360 people, including 161 children and 177 women, remain displaced after the two-day operation in Tulkarm and Tubas, where about 660 housing units were damaged, with 58 rendered uninhabitable.
The Israeli Supreme Court ruled in favour of a settler organization, placing a Palestinian family of 16 people at imminent risk of displacement from their home in Batn al Hawa, Silwan, East Jerusalem; four households, comprising 18 people, were forcibly evicted last month following a ruling in favour of the same organization.
Amid ongoing settler violence, the single remaining resident in the Palestinian community of Ein al Hilwa – Um al Jmal (Tubas) was forced to displace; he is among 1,628 Palestinians displaced since 7 October 2023 in the context of incidents involving Israeli settlers.
The West Bank school year faces major challenges: 782,000 students are affected by movement restrictions and settler violence, 58 schools are at risk of demolition; Israeli settlers attacked pupils and staff of Al Mu'arrajat East Elementary School, injuring nine.
