Palestinian man who was assaulted by Israeli settlers arrested

Israeli forces have arrested a young Palestinian man after he was assaulted by Israeli settlers in Jerusalem, according to the Wafa news agency.

Israeli soldiers have also raided several other locations across the occupied West Bank tonight, Wafa reported, including:

  • Qalqilya, where they arrested a young Palestinian man at his family home
  • The Shu’fat  camp, northeast of occupied East Jerusalem, where they fought with young Palestinian men at a military checkpoint near the camp’s entrance
  • A neighbourhood south of the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Silwan.

The latest Israeli raids come after Israeli air attacks near Tulkarem killed at least nine people including two local commanders from the Qassam Brigades and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.


Another night of Israeli arrests, raids across occupied West Bank

Israel has carried out a wave of raids and arrests overnight in towns and villages across the occupied West Bank.

Two Palestinians were arrested in Dura, south of Hebron, and another man was arrested in Qalqilya, west of Nablus.

Raids also took place in Deir Nidham, Qarawat Bani Hassan and Deir Istiya near Ramallah, where a Palestinian was shot and wounded. Armed confrontations erupted in Qalqilya, in the Balata camp area and in the Shu’fat camp.

On Saturday, Israeli forces took the bodies of four Palestinians after killing them in an air strike near Tulkarem. This brings the number of bodies held by Israel to 533, according to the National Campaign for the Retrieval of Palestinian and Arab War Victims’ Bodies and the Disclosure of the Fate of Those Missing.
