The Palestinian Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission recorded 3133 attacks by Israeli forces and settlers in October, against 2051 in September, a 52.8% increase, according to WAFA on 2 November 2026. The commission linked the escalation to the olive season and attacks on land and property. Its figures count different types of incidents under its monitoring framework, not injuries or individual perpetrators. وكالة الأنباء والمعلومات الفلسطينية — WAFA

Context and what it means

For methodological context, OCHA describes its measure as settler attacks resulting in casualties or property damage within a specified October reporting period. Different scope and dates mean the totals should not be added together or treated as automatically contradictory. Understanding each tally’s definition matters before using it to assess trends in violence. UN OCHA
