Palestinians shot, wounded by Israeli forces in confrontations near Hebron
At least three Palestinians have been shot with live ammunition by Israeli forces in Beit Ummar, on the northern outskirts of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.
It said several others suffered tear gas inhalation during confrontations with Israeli soldiers, which broke out shortly after Israeli forces raided the town.
Those shot have been taken to a nearby hospital, and their conditions have been described as “moderate”.
‘Highest ever’ number of Palestinians held in administrative detention, prisoners group says
There are more than 3,660 Palestinians held in administrative detention by Israel, the Palestinian Prisoners Club, an advocacy organisation, says.
The unprecedented figure includes Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the besieged Gaza Strip. Among them are 22 women and more than 40 children, it said.
Prior to October 7, some 1,320 Palestinians were held in administrative detention. The widely criticised practice involves holding Palestinians on secret evidence, without charge or trial, indefinitely.
Israeli forces raid towns near Jenin in occupied West Bank
Israeli forces have raided several towns and villages in the occupied West Bank, mainly areas in and around the Jenin governorate, the Wafa news agency reports. These include the villages of Rummanah, Taybeh and Anin, west of Jenin, as well as the village of al-Fandaqumiya, south of Jenin.
Israeli soldiers launched a “massive search campaign”, Wafa said, but did not report any arrests. It said these raids come as Israeli forces continue their raid of Jalbun, east of Jenin, for a second consecutive day.
