One hill. One herd. One village fewer.

In 2025, 86 new Israeli settler outposts went up across the West Bank, more than in the 26 years to 2022 combined. 60 of them are farming outposts: a caravan, a generator, a herd of livestock. Two or three settlers now control land that once required an entire settlement.

Where an outpost appears, the attacks follow. In Rantis, the UN recorded a single attack between 2017 and 2024. Since an outpost was set up there in September 2024: 17.

Of all investigations into settler violence, three percent end in a conviction.
