Israeli forces arrest 7 Palestinians in occupied West Bank

Since dawn today, Israeli forces have raided villages and towns in the occupied West Bank. Here is what the Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) has reported:

  • Two people were arrested in Qalqilya city
  • One person near Tulkarem city
  • One in el-Bireh city
  • Two in Jenin city
  • One in Beit Ummar town, near Hebron

Since the start of the war in Gaza, raids, violence and mass arrests of Palestinians in the occupied territory have become a near-daily reality. As of September 1, there are more than 11,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails, 3,577 of whom are detained without charges.

At least 77 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons from torture and medical neglect, including 46 from Gaza.


Palestinian shot, wounded by Israeli forces in occupied East Jerusalem

A Palestinian man has been shot and wounded by Israeli forces in Wadi al-Hummus, an area close to the neighbourhood of Sur Baher in occupied East Jerusalem, according to the Wafa news agency.

Citing a security source, the agency reported the man was transferred to hospital with an injury to his foot after Israeli forces fired at a group of Palestinians.


Israel closes Jordan-West Bank crossing again until further notice

Nazmi Muhanna, the head of the Palestinian General Authority for Borders and Crossings, has said the Israeli side informed the body that the Israeli-controlled King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge will be closed starting tomorrow until further notice in both directions, according to the Wafa news agency.

The closure of the only border crossing between the occupied West Bank and Jordan was also reported by Israel’s Army Radio, saying the move was ordered by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The gateway was opened this week to passenger traffic days after a closure on September 19, prompted by a deadly attack a day earlier in which two Israeli soldiers were killed.

The crossing is primarily used by Palestinians and the Palestinian Authority (PA) for the movement of people and goods from Jordan to the PA territory and vice versa. Senior PA officials also frequently pass through it on their way to Jordan and back.

It was not clear whether the measure was linked to the recognition of Palestine by a number of Western countries.
