Israeli settlers attack Palestinians, chop down olive trees in West Bank

Israeli settlers have pelted cars with stones near Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency reports. In Khirbet Tel el-Himma, northern Jordan Valley, Israeli settlers attacked a house belonging to a Palestinian family and stole livestock, the news agency said.

In Yasouf, east of Salfit, settlers chopped down about 100 olive trees and annexed 6 dunams (6,000 square metres) of land to the settlement of Nofei Nehemia, the head of the village council told Wafa.


Qassam Brigades claims occupied West Bank shooting attack

The military wing of Hamas has claimed responsibility for the shooting attack in Jordan Valley earlier today that killed one Israeli and wounded another. The Qassam Brigades said in a statement that 23-year-old Yonatan Deutsch, who was killed in the attack near an illegal Israeli settlement, was a “Zionist soldier”.

It said the attack was revenge for the more than 100 victims of the al-Tabin school bombing and emphasised that the Qassam Brigades fighters in the occupied West Bank have “renewed their allegiance” to Yahya Sinwar.
