    Israeli settlers and the Israeli army have escalated their seizure of water sources and the demolition of water infrastructure across the West Bank since 2023, deepening the water shortages Palestinians already face under Israeli control. Out of over 1,000 attacks against Palestinians settlers carried out across the West Bank in 2025, over 350 of them have targeted water sources and infrastructure, averaging out to nearly one attack per day, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).
