Summary
Israeli occupation forces injured two Palestinians near the Al-Dhahiriya checkpoint in southern Hebron. A child was also shot and arrested in Hizma, north of Jerusalem, highlighting the ongoing violence in the region. Raids conducted by Israeli forces in several West Bank cities, including Nablus and Ramallah, resulted in clashes and multiple arrests. Among those arrested was a former prisoner from Nablus, indicating a pattern of targeting individuals with previous incarceration. Escalating settler violence has been reported, with attacks on Palestinian homes in Masafer Yatta. Additionally, a new settlement outpost has been established near Bruqin in northern Salfit, further exacerbating tensions. Since October 7, settlers have reportedly taken control of over 44,000 dunams of Palestinian land. This land appropriation has increased tensions and led to the displacement of local communities.
