Hebron: An illegal Israeli settler was reported injured in a suspected car-ramming attack in the occupied West Bank, as indicated by Israeli media sources. The incident is said to have taken place near Dhahiriya Junction, situated in southern Hebron city within the southern West Bank.
According to Anadolu Agency, the Israeli army has initiated a search operation for the driver involved in the incident, who reportedly fled the scene immediately after the attack. There has been no confirmation yet regarding any group's involvement in the incident.
Palestinian figures have reported that nearly 950 Palestinians have lost their lives and over 7,000 have sustained injuries in the occupied West Bank since the onset of the Israeli war on Gaza in October 2023. This incident adds to the ongoing tensions and violence in the region.
In a significant development, the International Court of Justice in July 2024 declared Israel's long-standing occupation of Palestinian territories illegal. The court demanded the removal of all Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, highlighting the international legal challenges facing Israel's current policies.
