Israeli forces issue demolition notices against seven Palestinian homes in Hebron: Report

Israeli forces have issued notices of upcoming demolitions for seven Palestinian homes in the town of Idhna, west of Hebron, in the occupied West Bank, according to the Wafa news agency.

According to local sources cited by Wafa, one of the homes belongs to relatives of a detainee, and the occupants were only given seven days to evacuate the house.

Israeli forces also stormed the village of Ras al-Joura north of Hebron, and raided several shops, Wafa reported.


Israel detains 30 workers in the occupied West Bank: Report

Israeli forces have briefly detained nearly 30 Palestinian workers who were constructing a road in the Khirbet ad-Dir area, in the town of Tuqu southeast of Bethlehem, in the occupied West Bank, according to Wafa.

No reason was provided for their detention, said the Palestinian news agency, which cited local sources as saying the workers were subjected to harsh field interrogations and forced to sit on the ground.

Israeli forces continue to carry out field interrogations in multiple areas of the West Bank, alongside scaling up their raids on the territory.


Israeli settler attack wounds five near Hebron: Report

Dozens of Israeli settlers have stormed the Palestinian village of Khirbet Aqwiwis in the occupied West Bank and assaulted residents, reports the Wafa news agency, citing a local activist.

The settlers beat and pepper-sprayed residents, said Wafa. Several people, including elderly residents, were hospitalised with head wounds and fractures.

The attack comes after earlier settler assaults this week in the Palestinian villages of Jinsafut and Funduq. Those attacks, as we’ve reported, took place under Israeli army protection, injuring at least 12 people, with settlers setting cars and buildings ablaze.
