Israeli forces carry out arrests in Bethlehem, Ramallah
Three teenagers have been arrested following separate raids in Bethlehem governorate in the occupied West Bank, the Wafa news agency reports. Israeli forces arrested a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old in the town of Tuqu, while a 15-year-old was arrested in the town of Janatah, according to Wafa.
Two more Palestinians were also arrested during separate raids on the town of Beit Rima and the village of Rantis, northwest of Ramallah.
Israeli forces arrest 17 Palestinians in Hebron amid West Bank raids
The Israeli military has arrested 17 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank’s Hebron governorate and set up military checkpoints in several areas, Wafa reports.
At dawn, the army apprehended two brothers from Kafr Ra’i village, south of Jenin, raiding their home. Two men were arrested during the raids on the towns of Beit Rima and Rantis, northwest of Ramallah city.
Israeli man critically wounded in car ramming near West Bank settlement
The Israeli army says it has responded to a car-ramming incident near the settlement of Givat Assaf in the occupied West Bank, adding that it has “neutralised” the assailant.
Local media reports said a truck hit a bus stop and critically wounded a man in his 20s. He is yet to be identified.
Israeli outposts in the occupied West Bank are illegal under international law. In July, the International Court of Justice found that Israel’s occupation was illegal and ruled that Israel had “an obligation to cease immediately all new settlement activities and to evacuate all settlers” from the occupied territory.
Israeli forces raid West Bank home of Palestinian man over car-ramming attack
More details are emerging on the car-ramming attack near the settlement of Givat Assaf, in the occupied West Bank.
Al Jazeera correspondent Nida Ibrahim, reporting from the scene of the incident, said the Israeli forces raided the house of the driver, a 58-year-old man from the town of Rafat, southwest Ramallah.
The truck rammed into a military checkpoint near the settlement of Givat Assaf injuring two Israeli soldiers stationed there, one of them critically.
While the Israeli military said the attacker had been “neutralised,” Ibrahim said the army often uses the term to mean both killed and injured. “We are receiving news from medical sources that the driver is in serious condition,” the reporter added.
Israeli settlers set fire to olive trees in West Bank’s Burin
Israeli settlers from the illegal outpost of Yitzhar have damaged dozens of olive trees belonging to a Palestinian farmer in the village of Burin, in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli watchdog Yesh Din has said.
Video footage published by the organisation, which campaigns against settler violence, showed five masked individuals holding chainsaws leaving the olive grove as fires engulfed several trees.
“We demand that the military properly prepare to prevent violence against farmers and damage to the trees, and to ensure the harvest takes place,” the organisation said.
The incident occurred at about 6am [03:00 GMT]. In a second post on X, it said settlers later returned to the area and set fire to more trees.
