Five people injured by Israeli fire in occupied West Bank: PRCS

Four of the Palestinians, two of them children, were injured in Beit Furik, east of Nablus, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says. The PRCS said two teenagers, ages 14 and 16, and two men were hit by live fire as Israeli soldiers raided the town.

During the raid, Israeli forces used live ammunition, tear gas and stun grenades on Palestinians.

A fifth Palestinian was also injured by Israeli live fire near the village of Rummanah, west of Jenin, the official news agency Wafa reported. The man from the town of Silat al-Harithiy near Jenin was shot in the left leg and taken to hospital, Wafa reported.


Settlers attack Palestinian vehicles in the occupied West Bank

Local Palestinian media platforms have published footage verified by Al Jazeera documenting the moment settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles northeast of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Some of the settlers appear to be masked as they appear to run over a small hill and ambush vehicles at a turn in the road. They then proceed to throw rocks and the vehicles before retreating.

Settlers also attacked agricultural land between two villages in the same area northeast of Ramallah Allah and started fires.


Israeli forces detain 40 in occupied West Bank

The overnight arrests took place throughout the occupied West Bank, according to the Commission for Detainees’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society.

Among those detained were a woman, children and several former prisoners, the organisations said.

“Since the war began, Israeli forces have detained about 10,000 Palestinians. The detentions are systematic and have increased in an unprecedented way since October 7, not just in numbers but also in the mistreatment exercised against the detainees,” they added.
