Palestinians injured, arrested in Israeli raids across West Bank

What the report says

Israeli forces and settlers carried out raids, arrests and attacks across the occupied West Bank on Thursday, with the heaviest impact reported in and around Hebron, according to Al Jazeera. The report said the wider Israeli military operation in the Hebron governorate had entered its seventh day, following a gun attack last week that killed two Israeli soldiers and led to the deaths of two Palestinian suspects.

In the Qalandiya refugee camp near East Jerusalem, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said two children were wounded during clashes after an Israeli raid, including a 15-year-old shot in both legs and a 12-year-old injured by fragments. Al Jazeera also reported that soldiers and settlers beat a disabled Palestinian man in a village near Bethlehem, while forces detained 13 Palestinians in raids in the northern West Bank, mostly in the Nablus area.

Hebron officials said 537 families, or 3,361 people, had been forced from their homes, with many more affected by closures and restrictions. The report said schools serving about 262,000 students were pushed toward remote learning, and local officials estimated major daily economic losses. The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society said 110 Palestinians had been detained in the governorate over several days.

The article also described settler attacks on journalists and activists in Masafer Yatta and the demolition of Palestinian memorials in Hebron-area towns. United Nations humanitarian officials said the restrictions were disrupting access to livelihoods, education and healthcare, and warned against further forced displacement and demolitions.
