Attempted car ramming south of Hebron, in occupied West Bank

There was a suspected attempt to run over Israeli soldiers at the Negohot settlement south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank, according to Israeli public broadcaster Kan.

Israeli forces fired at the vehicle, with one Palestinian killed and another wounded, the broadcaster reported.

There were no casualties among the soldiers, it added.


Israeli raids continue in occupied West Bank

The Wafa news agency reports that Israeli forces have stormed Tulkarem and Balata in the West Bank.

In Tulkarem, which recently witnessed an intense 10-day Israeli military operation, one of the largest seen in decades, Israeli soldiers, including two military bulldozers, are stationed around the Al-Alimi Roundabout in the city, Wafa says.

The bulldozers have begun destroying infrastructure in the area, common features of Israeli raids in the West Bank.

Military bulldozers were also deployed in the Israeli raid on Balata, during which, Wafa says, clashes broke out between local Palestinians and Israeli soldiers.
