Israeli forces, settlers carry out raids across the occupied West Bank

The Ministry of Health says a 20-year-old Palestinian man died of wounds sustained by an Israeli bullet to the chest during an incursion into the city of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank that also left five others injured.

In a Bedouin community northwest of the West Bank city of Jericho, a local source was cited as saying by the Wafa news agency that Israeli settlers descended in vehicles to intimidate Palestinians for the second time in the past 24 hours.

Wafa also spoke to local sources west of the city of Nablus, who said a group of Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles with stones, damaging several cars.

In the East Jerusalem neighbourhood of al-Issawiya, Israeli authorities reportedly forced a Palestinian to demolish his own home and displace his family of nine, claiming he lacked a permit to live there.

He was forced to carry out the demolition himself since Israeli authorities charge exorbitant fees if the municipality razes the structure, Wafa reported.

Palestinians arrested as Israeli police disperse protesters in Haifa

Israeli police forcibly broke up a protest against the war on Gaza in the city of Haifa. Multiple Palestinians were arrested and put into police vehicles.

A reporter with Israeli newspaper Haaretz at the scene filmed herself confronting a police officer who violently arrested a demonstrator, with the officer trying to slap the phone out of her hand.
