Violence in the occupied West Bank was already at a more than 15-year high in 2023, with 200 Palestinians and 26 Israelis killed, but since Hamas unleashed the deadliest day in Israel’s history on 7 October, it has surged in parallel with the war in Gaza. Since that date, 260 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, including in raids by the Israeli military against suspected militants and by extremist settlers – whose daily attacks against Palestinians have more than doubled in the last two months, UN data shows.
 
For a story with The Guardian, I stayed with Palestinian families facing threats and abuse from settlers encroaching on their land and met Israeli activists attempting to help Palestinian families undergoing these rising threats. The following images show this rise of violence since 7 October and life for Palestinians in the West Bank amid expanding settlements.
