On 26 February 2023, hundreds of Israeli settlers went on a violent late-night rampage in Huwara and other Palestinian villages in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, leaving one civilian dead and 100 other Palestinians injured, four critically, and the town ablaze.[1][2] It was the worst attack stemming from Israeli settler violence in the northern West Bank in decades.[3][4][5]

Israeli soldiers were in the area while the rampage by the settlers unfolded and did not intervene.[2] The rampage was called a pogrom by an Israeli commander in charge of the area.[6] The attack followed the deadly shooting of two Israeli settlers the same day by an unidentified attacker in the area.[7][1] The same day, Israeli and Palestinian officials issued a joint declaration in Aqaba, Jordan to counter the recent round of Israeli–Palestinian violence.[3][4][8]

In the rampage's aftermath, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a settler leader in charge of the administration of the West Bank,[9] called for Huwara to be "wiped out" by the Israeli army.[10][11] Condemnations from the United States, European Union, and Arab countries led to Smotrich retracting his comments and claiming they were said in the heat of the moment.[6][12]
