<p>The Palestinian Information Center \u201cMa\u2019ta\u201d (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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>\u201cMa\u2019ta\u201d also recorded the arrest of 779 Palestinians during these
daily raids, as well as the demolition of 273 structures, including 32
completely destroyed homes.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
