A Palestinian young man sustained a bullet injury near the separation wall in northern Tulkarem, while other citizens were either detained or assaulted by the Israeli occupation forces (IOF) in different West Bank areas on Saturday evening.
The Red Crescent reported that its paramedics provided first aid for a young man who was shot in the foot by Israeli forces in the village of Nazlat Issa, north of Tulkarem.
In Ramallah, Israeli forces detained and assaulted several citizens in the village of al-Mughayir where the chief of the village council said the IOF raided a home and several stores, beating citizens inside them and firing stun grenades and tear gas canisters at residents and their houses.
The IOF also kidnaped a Palestinian girl at a military checkpoint near Yabrud village, east of Ramallah.
In Qalqilya, Israeli forces disrupted residents’ movement after setting up a military checkpoint at the city’s eastern entrance. Vehicles were stopped and searched, while stun grenades and tear gas were fired in the area.
In a separate incident, a horde of extremist Jewish settlers attacked a home in the village of Deir Ammar, west of the city. The assault coincided with an Israeli military raid in the area.
In Ariha, a group of settlers attacked Palestinian citizens and their livestock in the Wadi Abu al-Hayat area north of the city.
Hassan Malihat, general supervisor of the al-Baidar Human Rights Organization, said settlers continued for the second consecutive day to attack Palestinian farmland in Wadi Abu al-Hayat, west of al-Auja, saying they released herds of cattle and sheep into the area to damage property.
In Bethlehem, settlers stormed areas east and south of the governorate, entering al-Rashayida village and the area of Khalayel al-Louz to graze sheep in villagers’ fields, causing extensive crop damage.
Israeli settlers assaulted a Palestinian young man on Sunday morning south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank, according to local sources.
Witnesses reported that a group of Israeli colonists broke into the Wadi al-Haj Issa area, located between the town of Aqraba and the village of Jurish, and assaulted a local Palestinian resident.
The area has witnessed a series of repeated attacks by Israeli colonists in recent days.
Violence by Israeli colonists against Palestinians and their property has escalated in various parts of the occupied West Bank in recent years. These attacks include physical assaults, damage to homes and vehicles, and the uprooting of olive trees and other agricultural lands, particularly in rural communities near settlements.
Many documentations have shown that these incidents occur under the protection of Israeli forces or without effective intervention to stop the assaults.
