Illegal Israeli settlers, army raids in occupied West Bank leave multiple Palestinians wounded

Illegal Israeli settler attacks and army raids across the occupied West Bank have caused multiple wounds to Palestinians amid escalating violence.

According to the Anadolu agency, Israeli settlers stormed the village of Jurish and the town of Aqraba in southern Nablus, hurling stones at Palestinian homes and assaulting residents.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its crews treated a 35-year-old pregnant woman and a 65-year-old woman after they were assaulted by settlers in Jurish.

In the central occupied West Bank, settlers attacked the village of Deir Jarir, triggering clashes after Israeli forces moved into the area to protect them.

Sources said to the Anadolu agency that the Israeli soldiers fired live ammunition during the raid, wounding a Palestinian man in the foot and detaining several residents.

Raids intensify

Israeli forces also raided the city of Al-Bireh near Ramallah, storming a fuel station and abducting three young Palestinians.

Soldiers confiscated surveillance camera recordings from the station during the raid.

In the Jalazone refugee camp, forces were deployed across several neighbourhoods, while in Beit Ummar, soldiers fired tear gas canisters that left dozens suffering from suffocation.

In Bethlehem, Israeli forces raided a wedding hall in the town of Doha and sealed off the surrounding area.

The occupied West Bank has seen escalating violence since the start of the genocide in Gaza in October 2023.

Israel has killed at least 1,155 Palestinians, wounded about 11,750 others and abducted nearly 22,000.
