Medics among six Palestinians injured in Israeli attacks across West Bank

What the report says

Israeli forces and settlers injured six Palestinians, including two paramedics, in separate incidents in the occupied West Bank governorates of Nablus and Bethlehem, according to Al Jazeera and Palestinian authorities. The reported incidents took place on Friday, August 7, 2026, amid a wider period of raids and settler violence in the territory.

In Beit Furik, east of Nablus, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said its crews treated a man who was beaten by Israeli forces and later arrested. The group also said settlers vandalised a Palestinian-owned vehicle in the same town. In Bethlehem, three Palestinians were wounded after settlers attacked vehicles in the Abu Njeim area.

The Red Crescent said an ambulance crew responding to the Bethlehem injuries was hit by stones in the nearby Khalayel al-Louz area, leaving two paramedics hurt and damaging the vehicle. Al Jazeera noted that the attacks followed a week of Israeli military raids, including a two-day operation in the Qalandiya refugee camp that reportedly wounded 48 people.

The report places the violence in a broader pattern documented by Palestinian monitors, who say there have been more than 11,000 attacks in the West Bank since January. Al Jazeera also cited Palestinian and UN rights officials who say the escalation is linked to Israel’s tightening control over the occupied territory and the growth of settlements and outposts.
