On 26 February 2023, Hamas operative Abdel Fattah Hussein Kharousha shot and killed two Israelis in their car in Huwara, a town south of Nablus in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Following the shooting, Israeli settlers carried out revenge attacks, which have killed at least one Palestinian and injured around 100 others. The Israel Defense Forces later killed Kharousha on 7 March during an operation in Jenin. 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. It was the worst attack stemming from Israeli settler violence in the northern West Bank in decades. The rampage followed the deadly attack in which two Israelis were murdered the same day by an unidentified attacker in the area. Israeli soldiers were in the area while the rampage by the settlers unfolded and did not intervene. The same day, Israeli and Palestinian officials issued a joint declaration in Aqaba, Jordan to counter the recent round of Israeli–Palestinian violence.
