Palestinian town in Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, central West Bank
On April 11, 2026, Ali Majed Hamadneh, 23, has died after Israeli settlers opened fire during a raid on Deir Jarir village in the West Bank. The attack occurred under Israeli military protection amid a surge in settler violence and government approval of 34 new settlements. The incident has intensified criticism of settlement expansion and settler attacks in the occupied territory.
In the West Bank, Palestinians and Israeli forces have clashed during raids and patrols, with several fatalities reported in Silwad and Hebron. Separate incidents involve settlers attacking Palestinian communities and clashes near Deir Jarir, Nablus, and Masafer Yatta. The pattern of violence has intensified amid ongoing regional pressures and wartime dynamics.
