An Israel NGO, Peace Now, has noted that there has been a “surge” in settler activity in the occupied West Bank since the start of the war on 7 October.
The organisation said there was an “unmatched” increase in the construction of outposts, roads, fences and roadblocks by settlers.
“Settlers persist in seizing control of Area C in the West Bank, further marginalising the Palestinian presence,” a press release said.
