Since October 7, 2023, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has surpassed 1,050.
According to recent data from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA):
- Total Fatalities: At least 1,054 Palestinians have been killed between October 7, 2023, and early February 2026.
- Child Casualties: This figure includes at least 230 children.
- Settler Violence: A significant portion of these deaths—approximately 33 in late 2025 alone—involved Israeli settlers, sometimes acting alongside military forces.
- Detention Deaths: At least 28 of the total fatalities from the West Bank occurred while individuals were in Israeli detention.
The UN Human Rights Office (OHCHR) has expressed "serious concerns" over the spike in violence, noting that the lethality of recent military operations in the northern West Bank (such as in Jenin and Tulkarm) has reached levels not seen since the Second Intifada.
