According to a new report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), at least 3,608 Palestinians were injured by Israeli soldiers, this year.

Furthermore, the report states that at least 145 Palestinians were injured in 91 reported attacks by Jewish settlers, World Bulletin writes.

The depressing numbers continue and describe how there have also been 300 attacks by settlers, which targeted Palestinian-owned property and land.

10,510 Palestinian olive trees were damaged by the settlers, which means a 25% increase in this type of attack.

It is explained, in the report, that violence by settlers in the West Bank includes physical assault on individuals, harassment, takeover of and damage to private property, obstruction of access to agricultural land and water resources, along with attacks on livestock, agricultural land and places of worship.
