Surge in West Bank Attacks Amid Restrictions on Gaza Aid
Settler violence, aid curbs, and land seizures cast a shadow over a week that was meant to be a time of celebration for Palestinians.
Tensions continued to escalate in the occupied Palestinian territories this week, as a series of violent attacks by Israeli settlers in the West Bank and the Israeli government's decision to further restrict aid to the Gaza Strip dampened the mood of an otherwise celebratory period for Palestinians.

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), there were at least 37 settler attacks against Palestinians this week, resulting in over 60 injuries and significant damage to property.
