Moayad Shaaban, head of the Palestinian Commission Against the Wall and Settlements, said the attacks were documented in the commission's monthly report, "Occupation Violations and Colonial Expansion Measures."
According to the report, Israeli forces carried out 1,458 attacks, while settlers were responsible for 798 incidents. Shaaban described the attacks as part of an organized and systematic policy of violence aimed at undermining the Palestinian presence on their land.
He said the figures demonstrate close coordination between the Israeli military and settlers, noting that the army provides protection and support that enables settler attacks to expand and become permanent facts on the ground.
Shaaban added that settlers were responsible for the killing of seven Palestinians in July in the governorates of Nablus and Ramallah.
He also said settlers attempted to establish 29 new settlement outposts across nine governorates during the month, describing the widespread efforts as part of a strategy to expand Israeli control over Palestinian land, fill the gaps between settlements, and fragment Palestinian communities.
The report said Israeli authorities carried out 80 demolition operations in July, destroying 165 structures, including 80 inhabited homes and 63 agricultural facilities.
Israeli authorities also issued 33 military orders during the month, including 31 new land seizure orders covering 830.917 dunams of Palestinian-owned land.
In addition, Israeli planning authorities reviewed 26 plans aimed at expanding illegal Israeli settlements across the occupied West Bank and within the Israeli-defined municipal boundaries of occupied East Jerusalem.
Al-Aqsa incursions and restrictions
Separately, the Palestinian Ministry of Endowments and Religious Affairs released a report documenting an escalation in Israeli violations against Islamic holy sites during July.
The ministry said Israeli authorities conducted 27 incursions into the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound by settlers, while preventing the Muslim call to prayer 155 times at the Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron, describing the measures as part of an escalating campaign targeting freedom of worship and religious sites.
According to the report, large groups of settlers entered the Al-Aqsa compound through the Mughrabi Gate under heavy Israeli police protection, led by far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, members of the Knesset, and leaders of the so-called Temple Movement organizations.
Israeli occupation authorities also imposed tighter restrictions on worshippers and staff of the Islamic Waqf, particularly on Fridays, including raids near the Qibli Prayer Hall and the Dome of the Rock.
The report added that Sheikh Mohammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and preacher of Al-Aqsa Mosque, was detained for several hours before being released.
Fears of Gaza-style destruction in West Bank
The figures were released as Israel signalled plans to intensify its military assault in the occupied West Bank.
Israel's Channel 14 reported on Sunday, citing unnamed sources, that the occupation leadership had approved a series of large-scale operations across several areas of the West Bank and that security agencies were preparing to expand assaults.
According to the report, the decision follows Israel's assessment that the West Bank has become a highly volatile front.
At the same time, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said Israel would deal with the West Bank as it had with Gaza and Lebanon if Palestinians chose confrontation, citing Gaza City's Shuja'iyya neighbourhood and Jabalia as examples, saying they had been "destroyed and no longer exist."
The statements have intensified concerns among human rights groups that Israel could replicate the "Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Jenin model" by emptying additional Palestinian refugee camps and imposing new realities on the ground under the pretext of military necessity.
On 28 July, Katz announced that he had instructed the military to seize "another" Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank without identifying its location, stressing that the operation should follow the "Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Jenin model." Rights groups interpreted the statement as signalling preparations to repeat the same pattern of mass displacement, preventing residents from returning and reshaping the camps for security purposes.
According to Human Rights Watch, the announcement sends "an extremely dangerous message." The organization said the three camps experienced one of the largest forced displacement campaigns in the occupied West Bank since 1967 during Israel's deadly "Iron Wall" operation in early 2025, raising concerns that the rest of the West Bank could face a similar scenario.
During the occupation army's brutal and deadly attack in January and February 2025, tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees were forced to flee the Tulkarm, Nur Shams, and Jenin camps, rights organizations said.
Tel Aviv initially said the displacement would be temporary and last for one year. However, nearly 20 months later, the United Nations says more than 33,000 Palestinian refugees remain unable to return to their homes. Many have been forced to rent accommodation, stay with relatives, or seek temporary shelter through charitable organizations.
