Young Palestinian man wounded by Israeli forces in Bethlehem
A young man was injured late last night after being shot at by Israeli forces in Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported, quoting local security sources.
The report said Israeli forces stationed in the military tower near the northern entrance to Bethlehem opened fire at the young Palestinian man, seriously wounding him.
Military raids end across West Bank
Military raids that took place across the occupied West Bank overnight have now ended. However, these raids are frequent and could take place at any time.
One Palestinian was wounded by Israeli forces in a village near Bethlehem and military raids took place around Jenin, where at least one person was arrested, as well as in Nablus and Tulkarem.
The Israeli military stormed residential neighborhoods in the middle of the night and since October 7, the number of these raids has tripled while settler attacks have also risen.
Peace impossible as long as Palestine ‘groans’ under Israeli occupation: Official
Mahmoud al-Habbash, the Palestinian Authority’s chief justice and adviser to President Abbas, says, “There will be no peace in the world as long as Palestine is groaning under the yoke of Israeli occupation.”
He made the remarks during the 20th World Islamic Forum in Moscow.
The Wafa news agency quoted him as saying that the Palestinian people have been subjected to genocide in Gaza through the complete destruction of infrastructure, homes, mosques, churches and schools.
In the occupied West Bank, the Palestinians are being subjected to “a barbaric Israeli aggression, a war of extermination and ethnic cleansing”, al-Habbash said.
