Nablus: Eight Palestinians, including a child, were injured Tuesday in separate incidents involving Israeli forces and occupiers in the occupied West Bank, witnesses, officials, and the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
According to Anadolu Agency, six Palestinians were injured after being beaten by Israeli occupiers, aided by Israeli soldiers, in the town of Beit Imrin in the Nablus governorate. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that the injured, ranging in age from 24 to 65, were taken to a local hospital for treatment following the incident. These individuals had been detained two days prior by Israeli forces.
Witnesses revealed that Israeli forces detained 11 Palestinians after clashes erupted between Jewish occupiers and local residents in Beit Imrin. The detainees were handcuffed by soldiers before being handed over to the occupiers, who then beat them. After their release on Tuesday morning, several were treated at local hospitals for their injuries. Witnesses also claimed that Israeli soldiers warned locals against resisting the occupiers.
Anadolu has yet to receive a response from the Israeli army regarding these allegations.
In a separate incident, two Palestinians, including a child, sustained injuries during an Israeli military raid on the Al-Amari refugee camp south of Ramallah in the central occupied West Bank, according to Palestinian authorities. The Palestinian Health Ministry reported that a critically injured Palestinian with a gunshot wound to the abdomen was taken to Palestine Medical Complex for surgery. The Palestinian Red Crescent also transported a child, who had been shot in the foot, to the hospital.
Palestine TV reported that Israeli forces stormed the camp, firing indiscriminately. Videos shared on social media showed Israeli soldiers exiting military vehicles and moving through the camp's narrow streets.
These incidents occurred amid ongoing Israeli military operations and attacks by occupiers across the occupied West Bank, following the onset of Israel's actions in the Gaza Strip in October 2023. The situation has been exacerbated by the expansion of illegal settlement outposts, construction of settler roads, and increased restrictions on Palestinian movement.
Earlier this month, the UN warned that violence by occupiers had reached unprecedented levels, with more than 1,430 attacks on Palestinians and their property reported since the start of the year. Palestinians assert that these attacks aim to displace them and seize their land and property, paving the way for the annexation of the West Bank.
