BBC tracks one week of Israeli settler violence in occupied West Bank

Violence by Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank is reaching heightened levels this year, according to human rights groups, who say the incidents are spreading into new parts of the territory. Many of these attacks receive little coverage in the media. The BBC’s Lucy Williamson has been monitoring settler attacks on Palestinians, documenting incidents observed over the past week alone. Attacks on Palestinians have increased under Israel’s current government, coinciding with a rapid expansion of Israeli settlements, which are considered illegal under international law.
