Jerusalem: Israeli occupiers injured several Palestinians, including women and elderly people, during an attack late Monday on a Bedouin community near occupied East Jerusalem, while others seized a house under construction and attempted to steal livestock in the occupied West Bank.
According to Anadolu Agency, the Jerusalem Governorate reported that Israeli occupiers, backed by Israeli forces, attacked residents of the Al-Arara Bedouin community near Jaba, assaulting several Palestinians. It was noted that Israeli forces prevented ambulance crews from reaching the injured during the attack.
The Palestine Red Crescent Society stated that its teams were initially denied access to the area but later managed to evacuate two Palestinians who sustained injuries in the assault to a nearby hospital in Jaba.
Local sources also mentioned that Israeli occupiers hurled stones at Palestinian vehicles near the Jaba roundabout, resulting in damage to several cars, although no injuries were reported.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces detained Qusai Ghaith, the son of Jerusalem Governor Adnan Ghaith, after raiding the town of Silwan in occupied East Jerusalem. Local sources indicated that Qusai was beaten before being taken to a detention and interrogation center in Jerusalem.
In the central West Bank, Israeli occupiers seized a house under construction belonging to Palestinian resident Ezzedine Tahseen in the village of Deir Ammar west of Ramallah, as reported by local sources.
Additionally, in eastern Ramallah, Israeli occupiers stormed a livestock pen belonging to a Palestinian farmer in the village of Burqa and attempted to steal animals before residents forced them to withdraw, according to local accounts.
Further north, Israeli occupiers opened live fire during an attack on the outskirts of Asira al-Qibliya village south of Nablus before Israeli forces raided the village. No injuries or arrests were reported in this incident.
On Friday, Israeli occupiers, backed by the army, attacked the Palestinian town of Tell near Nablus, resulting in the deaths of four Palestinians. Two Israelis were also killed in a shooting during the confrontation, according to Palestinian and Israeli sources.
Following the violence, Israeli forces imposed a siege on Nablus and surrounding towns, carried out mass arrest raids, and announced preparations for a wide-scale military operation across the West Bank.
Since October 2023, Israeli forces and occupiers have killed at least 1,182 Palestinians in the West Bank, injured thousands, and detained around 24,000, according to official Palestinian figures.
