The essentials
Cumulative West Bank violence since October 2023 has killed at least 1,113 Palestinians and 49 Israelis.
At least 1,113 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 2023, according to cumulative figures. Over the same period, at least 49 Israelis have been killed in West Bank violence.
The reporting does not provide a breakdown of individual incidents or attribute every death to a specific actor, and the two totals are not directly comparable in scope or method.
Separately, reporting indicates that settler attacks on Palestinians and their property increase during the olive harvest. The seasonal rise points to a recurring period of heightened friction in the territory.
The available figures do not quantify how much of the cumulative toll is linked to the harvest period, so the seasonal pattern and the overall totals should be read as separate data points.

Counting the cost: West Bank deaths mount on both sides
The cumulative totals place Palestinian deaths at 1,113 and Israeli deaths at 49 since October 2023. In absolute numbers, the Palestinian toll is substantially higher, a gap that reflects the reported figures. Each count represents individuals and families affected across the territory, and the totals reflect violence over more than two years.
Seasonal harvest pressure highlights settler attacks on Palestinian property
From this angle, the olive harvest stands out as a recurring period of elevated risk, with reporting indicating that settler attacks on Palestinians and their property increase during it. Attacks on property alongside people point to effects on livelihoods as well as personal safety. Set against the cumulative toll, the seasonal pattern suggests the violence follows recurring circumstances rather than isolated episodes.
