Israeli forces and settlers carried out 1,965 attacks across Palestinian towns in the occupied West Bank in February, according to a report by the Palestinian Authority. The incidents included assaults, land seizures, destruction of property and restrictions on farmers, with the highest number of attacks recorded in Hebron, Nablus, Ramallah and Al-Bireh, and East Jerusalem.

The Wall and Settlement Resistance Commission documented 1,454 attacks by Israeli forces and 511 by settlers. Reported violations included beatings, uprooting and poisoning of trees, burning of fields and preventing olive pickers from reaching their land. Israeli authorities also demolished homes and agricultural facilities, citing security reasons, actions that officials say have enabled further settlement expansion.

A total of 122 Palestinian-owned structures were demolished in February, including inhabited homes and sources of livelihood, with more than one-third of demolitions occurring in Jerusalem. Settlers uprooted or poisoned 1,314 trees, most of them olive trees, which are a primary source of income for tens of thousands of Palestinian families, according to the United Nations Human Rights Council.
