Israel and the West Bank are experiencing their greatest spiral of violence since the Second Intifada and during 2023 some 528 Palestinians died, most of them militiamen in armed clashes with Israeli troops or attackers, but also civilians, including 112 minors.
This violence has worsened since war broke out between Israel and the Islamist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip on October 7. Since then, at least 325 Palestinians have died. Arrests of Palestinians in the West Bank are approaching 5,000.
Israel took control of the West Bank and East Jerusalem in 1967 and since then has maintained a long regime of military occupation and colonization over this territory.
