Ankara: Another two Palestinians, including a child, were injured Saturday in an attack by Israeli occupiers in the northern Jordan Valley, raising the total number of injuries since morning to nine.
According to Anadolu Agency, rights activist Aref Daraghmeh reported that occupiers attacked residents in Khirbet al-Hadidiya and used pepper spray on them, injuring a nine-year-old child and a 34-year-old man. Local sources also indicated that an occupier opened fire toward residents in the al-Abed area of al-Tabaqa village, south of Hebron.
In the north of Jericho, the Al-Baidar Organization noted that occupiers attacked the Arab al-Kaabneh area, throwing stones at homes and damaging hay supplies. Additionally, Israeli forces closed internal roads in the village of Zububa, west of Jenin, using earth mounds, which restricted residents' movement. This incident followed the sealing of the village's main entrance days earlier.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces raided the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah, and used stun grenades. The West Bank and East Jerusalem have experienced a surge in Israeli military offensives, including raids, arrests, live fire, and the use of force.
Palestinians have faced increasing attacks by occupiers aimed at forcing residents off their land and expanding settlements. Approximately 750,000 Israeli occupiers live in hundreds of settlements in the occupied West Bank, including around 250,000 in East Jerusalem. These occupiers reportedly carry out daily attacks against Palestinians.
Since October 2023, attacks by Israeli forces and occupiers in the West Bank have resulted in the deaths of at least 1,155 Palestinians and injuries to approximately 12,000 others.
