The Palestinian Information Center “Ma’ta” (an independent human rights
organization) has documented violations committed by the Israeli military
and settlers across the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem in January 2026.

According to a report released Thursday, the total number of recorded
violations reached 6,785, resulting in the killing of six Palestinians and
injuries to 201 others with varying degrees of severity. The report also
recorded 303 shooting incidents targeting Palestinians.

The report detailed that Israeli forces conducted 1,344 raids and
incursions into Palestinian cities, towns, and refugee camps throughout the
West Bank, causing widespread destruction to homes and their contents.

“Ma’ta” also recorded the arrest of 779 Palestinians during these daily
raids, as well as the demolition of 273 structures, including 32 completely
destroyed homes.

The center further reported the implementation of expansive settlement
plans in various areas of the West Bank and Jerusalem, with 61
settlement-related activities, including land confiscations, bulldozing of
Palestinian property, construction of new settlement roads, and approvals
for additional housing units.

Since the beginning of the genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, the
occupied West Bank, including Jerusalem, has witnessed an escalating wave
of Israeli military and settler violence, resulting in the killing of at
least 1,110 Palestinians, injuries to nearly 11,000 others, and the arrest
of approximately 21,000 people, according to data from Palestinian
organizations.
