Israeli forces, settlers attack Ramallah and Nablus
Sources tell Al Jazeera that Israeli forces demolished a well and an agricultural facility and bulldozed land in the village of al-Mughayyir, north of Ramallah. They also demolished the Beita agricultural produce market, south of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
Wafa reported that one Palestinian was wounded during an attack by Israeli settlers on the village of Osarin, south of Nablus. A group of settlers attacked residents of the village at dawn today. They also smashed the windows of three vehicles.
At least 15 injured in East Jerusalem shooting, Israeli ambulance service says
It says it received reports of at least 15 injuries in a shooting incident in occupied East Jerusalem.
Attack in Jerusalem injures at least 20, including 6 critically
It seems that there are at least 20 people injured and at least six of them in serious condition after Israeli police say two alleged gunmen opened fire in an area in the northern part of Jerusalem, right outside an illegal settlement and have been “neutralised”.
Israel often uses the term “neutralise”, and what they mean is they have arrested or killed the shooters involved, and they don’t really give more information until they have completed an investigation.
These are pretty main roads in Jerusalem, and police are also saying they have blocked off every single road that leads to the area. Israeli police say that roads that have been closed lead to Ramot and parts of West Jerusalem, and illegal settlements in the area will remain blocked off. There is a lot of traffic there, and that’s because those cars have nowhere to go.
The ambulance service is still looking in the area for people who might be injured.
Death toll from Jerusalem shooting rises to five: Report
The death toll in the Jerusalem shooting has risen to five, Israel’s Army Radio says. It is unclear, though, if two of those were the perpetrators in this attack.
The broadcaster reported that police now suspect the perpetrators of the attack were Palestinians from the occupied West Bank rather than occupied East Jerusalem as previously reported.
Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported Netanyahu has informed judges that he will not attend his corruption trial today due to the security developments.
