                <media:description>A Palestinian man from the village of Burqa, walks past a fence decorated with Israeli flags installed by Jewish settlers after they announced their control over the historical Al-Masoudiya Ottoman era train station, which operated between the Palestinian cities of Nablus and Tulkarm in the 1920s, just north of the city of Nablus, in the northern Israeli-occupied West Bank on February 15, 2026.ebruary 15, 2026. Violence in the Palestinian West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has soared since the Hamas attack on Israel triggered the Gaza war in October 2023. New Israeli measures taken on the weekend of February 9, 2026, for the occupied West Bank, are expected to accelerate the territory&apos;s annexation, ease land purchases by settlers and push Palestinians into increasingly isolated enclaves.
