UN OCHA West Bank Update #358 – 19 February 2026
The UN Secretary-General warned that recent Israeli land-related measures in the West Bank erode prospects for a two-State solution and risk the dispossession and displacement of Palestinians, following Israeli cabinet decisions to expand administrative control and resume land registration in Area C.
Boys and men face severe protection risks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, experiencing disproportionate levels of killing and injury, detention, and exposure to exploitation and harmful coping mechanisms such as child labour, a Protection Cluster analysis finds.
Between 3 and 16 February 2026, Israeli forces killed three Palestinians in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. This brings the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces between 1 January and 16 February 2026 to nine (all male), including two children. Palestinian security forces killed one Palestinian child and injured his sister while attempting to arrest their father, who was shot and injured. Another 137 Palestinians, including 11 children, were injured, of whom 78 were injured by Israeli forces and 59 by Israeli settlers. Casualties included one person killed and eight injured by Israeli forces while attempting to cross the Barrier to reach East Jerusalem and Israel. During the same period, no Israelis were reported injured.
Israeli Settler Attacks
Between 3 and 16 February, OCHA documented at least 86 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians across 60 communities that resulted in casualties, property damage, or both. These incidents led to the displacement of 146 people (see section below for details) and the injury of 64 Palestinians, including one child. Of those wounded, 59 were injured by settlers and five by Israeli forces. Most incidents were recorded in Nablus governorate (23), particularly in Qusra and Talfit villages, followed by Ramallah governorate (19), mainly in Al Mughayyir and Birzeit, and Hebron governorate (19), mainly in Halhul and Susiya. Overall, more than 800 olive trees and saplings and 39 vehicles were vandalised, water pipes and networks were damaged, and dozens of Palestinian-owned livestock were reportedly stolen. Settler attacks, threats and harassment predominantly affected communities near settlement outposts, involving repeated raids, assaults, damage to homes and denial of access to agricultural land.
