RRI.CO.ID. Jakarta - Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s Media Observatory on Israeli Crimes Against Palestinians, stated the West Bank saw a sharp increase in settlement activity between June 23 and 29, 2026. The OIC Observatory documented 16 settlement actions in that week.
Most notably, the OIC recorded the construction of six settler roads in Ramallah and Bethlehem by settlers and Israeli occupation forces. The OIC also logged 100 settler attacks in various areas of the West Bank during the same period.
The OIC reported a rise in military operations across West Bank cities and villages. According to the OIC, occupation forces carried out 365 raids in the West Bank. These raids led to the arrest of 165 Palestinians, including five children, as documented by the OIC Observatory.
The OIC also recorded casualties in the West Bank. The OIC stated that three Palestinians were killed and 10 others were injured in the West Bank during June 23-29, 2026. The OIC’s broader data shows that from October 7, 2023, to June 29, 2026, the total number of Palestinian martyrs reached 74,197, with 178,377 wounded across all occupied territories.
Attacks on religious sites in the West Bank were also noted by the OIC. The OIC documented 1,080 Israeli crimes in the past week, including actions at places of worship. In Hebron, the OIC reported that occupation forces stormed the Ibrahim Mosque. The OIC stated that forces have continued to prevent the call to prayer at the mosque at all times for the past eight days.
Taken together, the OIC’s findings for the West Bank point to a pattern of expanded settler roads, frequent settler attacks, widespread raids and arrests, and restrictions on religious practice. According to the OIC, these actions have increased pressure on Palestinian communities and limited daily life in the West Bank. The OIC’s Media Observatory continues to monitor and document the situation in the West Bank. Based on the OIC’s weekly report, the documented escalation includes settlement construction, settler violence, military raids, arrests, casualties, and measures at holy sites within the West Bank.
