Settler attacks continue across the occupied West Bank
The Palestinian news agency Wafa has reported several settler attacks in the occupied West Bank today. They include:
- An incident where settlers set fire to Palestinian agricultural lands in a village east of Ramallah.
- Under the protection of Israeli forces, settlers are reported to have set up tents on a Palestinian plot of land in the area of Beit Ummar, north of Hebron, in what residents fear is a prelude to land seizure.
- Settlers protected by Israeli forces attacked Palestinian homes in the village of Tal, southwest of Nablus.
Israel has so far built more than 100 settlements across the West Bank, which are home to about 500,000 settlers – Israeli citizens living illegally on private Palestinian land in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem.
Israeli forces blow up Palestinian home in Jenin refugee camp
Israeli forces blew up a Palestinian home in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian news agency Wafa is reporting.
Local sources told the agency that the explosion was part of a continuing Israeli campaign of home demolitions inside the camp, with multiple houses destroyed over the past two weeks.
The demolitions are part of a plan announced by the Israeli military on June 9, which aims to tear down approximately 95 homes in the camp, Wafa said.
The Israeli offensive in Jenin has entered its 159th consecutive day, and has so far killed 40 people, and wounded a further 200.
