> Israel’s security establishment says illegal settler violence in the occupied West Bank rose by 63 percent during the first half of 2026 compared with the same period last year. Home demolitions have also increased across the territory. The reported surge comes amid a worsening pattern of pressure on Palestinians in the occupied area. Michael Lynk, a former UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, offers further comment on the developments.
