West Bank Two Israelis were wounded by gunfire, and the “Popular Front” claims responsibility for the attack

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine claims responsibility for a shooting attack that injured two Israeli settlers in the northern occupied West Bank. In the context, the Israeli Army Radio stated that the army closed a number of entrances to the city of Nablus in order to pursue the perpetrators of the attack.

On Saturday, two Israeli settlers were wounded in a shooting attack in the village of Hawara in the Nablus governorate, in the northern occupied West Bank.

The Israeli army said in a statement that "two Israelis were wounded in a shooting from inside a speeding car in the Hawara area," noting that they were taken to hospital for treatment.

The army added, "Works are being carried out to pursue the terrorist who carried out the attack, as the forces are conducting combing operations and closing roads."

For their part, Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper and Channel 12 (private) reported earlier that "one of the two injuries was serious and the other was moderate."

The two methods indicated that the injured were two soldiers in the Israeli army, but the army's statement did not indicate that they were members of its forces.

In the context, the Israeli army radio reported that the army closed a number of entrances to the city of Nablus and deployed additional forces in the village of Hawara to pursue the perpetrators of the attack.

The Popular Front adopts

In a related context, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine announced on Saturday its responsibility for the shooting attack in the village of Hawara in Nablus.

The "Abu Ali Mustafa" Brigades, the armed arm of the Popular Front, said in a statement: "We announce our adoption of the Hawara operation, (where) the Brigades' resistance managed to target a Zionist force at the Hawara checkpoint, south of Nablus."

The battalions called on the Palestinian people and their living forces to "unite and close ranks in the Palestinian resistance front."

Tensions have escalated sharply across the occupied West Bank for months, amid repeated Israeli military raids on Palestinian towns.

About 90 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire since the beginning of this year, according to Palestinian data, while 14 Israelis were killed in separate attacks during the same period.

With the expansion of the demonstrations, the Israeli Defense Minister calls for freezing the plan to reform the judicial system

As tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrated in Tel Aviv against the controversial plan to reform the justice system, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called for the government project to be frozen.

Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called for freezing the controversial plan to reform the judicial system, in light of tens of thousands of Israelis demonstrating in Tel Aviv against it.

The latest demonstration in the city, Israel's commercial hub, came days after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to push ahead with the amendment despite growing international concern.

But the Israeli defense minister said Saturday: "We have to stop the legislative mechanism" for a month.

He added in a speech: "The victory of one of the two sides in the streets of the city or in the halls of the Knesset is a loss for the State of Israel."

Galant called for the project to be frozen while Israeli lawmakers are scheduled to vote on key articles in the judicial system reform project next week, especially the mechanism for appointing judges.

On Saturday, about 250,000 people demonstrated in Tel Aviv, according to Israeli media estimates.

The demonstrations erupted in January after the government coalition announced a package of reforms that the government says are necessary to restore balance to the branches of power.

Opponents of the project, which aims to strengthen the power of elected officials at the expense of the judiciary, believe that it threatens democracy in the Jewish state, and has been criticized from outside Israel, especially from the United States.

On Friday, the legal adviser to the government of Israel, Gali Bahrav Mayara, described the prime minister's interference in the project to reform the judicial system that divides the country as "illegal" in light of his continued trial on charges of corruption.

She referred to a previous court ruling indicating that "a prime minister who has been charged is not entitled to take actions that raise concerns of a conflict of interest."
