What’s happening in the occupied West Bank?
As the world’s attention remains largely focused on Trump’s announcement of an extension to the Iran ceasefire, the Israeli army and settlers continue to carry out attacks across the occupied West Bank.
Here are just some of the incidents reported today by the Wafa news agency:
- Settlers have stormed the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, under the protection of Israeli forces, and performed Talmudic rituals.
- The evacuated illegal Kadim settlement in Jenin was stormed by settlers under the protection of Israeli forces.
- Israeli forces have obstructed the movement of Palestinian residents east of Qalqilya as they patrolled the streets of the nearby town of Hableh and the villages of Ras Tira and Wadi Arsha.
- Israeli forces have shut down several streets in occupied East Jerusalem, tightening restrictions on the movement of residents.
Settlers are Israeli citizens living illegally on private Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
Killings in the occupied West Bank
In the occupied West Bank, four Palestinians were killed on Tuesday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, including two in an attack by Israeli settlers on al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah.
The ministry said a 14-year-old school student, Aws Hamdi al-Na’san, and 32-year-old Jihad Marzouq Abu Na’im were shot dead when settlers attacked the al-Mughayyir Boys School. Four others were wounded. Local officials said Israeli soldiers opened fire while protecting the settlers.
In Hebron, 16-year-old Mohammad Majdi al-Jaabari was killed when he was struck by a vehicle belonging to a security convoy escorting an Israeli minister near the settlement of Kiryat Arba.
