In the few moments of silence after the shootings, before he was dragged from the family car, 12-year-old Khaled Bani Odeh thought he was the only member of his family left alive. " The family of 37-year-old Ali Khaled Bani Odeh and his 35-year-old wife Waad had been minutes from home when they were killed, in the village of Tammun, near Tubas, just after midnight on Saturday. " Residents told us they had found more than 50 bullet casings from assault rifles, of the size used by Israeli armed forces, and handed them over to the authorities. Najah Bani Odeh told me the killing of her son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren was part of a pattern of rising violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, by both Israeli soldiers and settlers, which has risen sharply since the 7 October 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel. " Between 7 October 2023 and 15 March 2026, the UN's humanitarian affairs office, OCHA, says 1,071 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank, including at least 233 children. It says 19 Israeli civilians and 23 Israeli security forces were killed there from October 2023 until mid-October 2025.
