Israeli Regime Injures Palestinian Child, Two Others in West Bank Attack

The three Palestinians were attacked between the towns of Arraba and Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin, Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

Citing local sources, Wafa said the Israeli occupiers injured two men, aged 64 and 40, and a young girl.

Ambulance crews provided medical treatment to the three at the scene.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces and illegal Israeli settlers raided the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah, and detained three residents, Wafa reported, citing Palestinian security sources.

The occupiers, under the protection of Israeli forces, also seized an agricultural tractor belonging to the village council that is used for waste collection, according to the report.

Separately, Israeli forces raided the West Bank town of Kafr Sur, south of Tulkarm, and issued four demolition notices for a 10-story residential building, two villas and a home under construction, municipal council head Fawwaz Hamza told Wafa.

The structures are located in the western part of the town near the separation wall and in Area B, according to Hamza, who said their owners possess the required ownership documents and permits.

The residents were given one week to file objections to the demolition notices, he added.

The latest incidents come amid a longstanding pattern of Israeli regime violence against Palestinians and measures targeting their homes and property in the occupied West Bank.

Home demolitions and settler violence against Palestinians have escalated in the occupied West Bank since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, sometimes under pretexts including alleged missing permits and other documents.

According to the latest UN secretary-general’s report on settlements, Israeli authorities advanced or approved plans for 4,750 settlement units in the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Al-Quds, between March 14 and June 12.

UN Security Council Resolution 2334 affirms that Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including occupied East Al-Quds, have “no legal validity” and constitute a flagrant violation of international law.
