The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its crews dealt with a serious injury to a young man who was shot in the head, in the town of Qarawat Bani Zeid, northwest of Ramallah, and he was transferred to the hospital.
Settlers attacked Palestinian vehicles in the village of Ein Yabrud, east of Ramallah, according to the Palestinian news agency WAFA.
The agency noted that a group of settlers blocked the path of Palestinian vehicles in the village of Ein Yabrud and attacked them, while the Israeli occupation army was present at the scene.
In the town of Al-Zawiya, west of Salfit, the occupation forces raided homes and assaulted citizen Iyad Abdel Halim, and arrested the young man Muhammad Shuqair, the son of the mayor of Al-Zawiya, according to local sources.
In the southern West Bank, the occupation forces stormed the town of Al-Karmel, south of Hebron, and arrested the released prisoner Montaser Abu Aram. They also arrested the young man Muath Ibrahim Nassar after raiding his house in the town of Dura, southwest of Hebron.
The occupation forces also arrested Mahmoud Hassan Salim, a young man from the town of Azzun, east of Qalqilya, in addition to arresting Mukhtar Nidal Bani Odeh from the town of Tamoun, south of Tubas, while he was passing through a checkpoint near Jericho, according to the Palestinian News Agency “Wafa”.
In a related context, the occupation forces set up military checkpoints at the four entrances to the city of Jericho and tightened inspection procedures, which led to hindering the movement of Palestinians and long queues of vehicles.
Israeli forces routinely raid cities and towns in the West Bank, arresting Palestinians under the pretext that they are wanted for security reasons. Since the start of its two-year war of annihilation in the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians, wounded nearly 11,000, and arrested over 21,000.
The Israeli war of extermination in Gaza left more than 70,000 Palestinians dead and 171,000 wounded, most of them children and women, and caused massive destruction with reconstruction costs estimated by the United Nations at around $70 billion.
