Rising Aggression by Israeli Forces and Settlers Claims More Palestinian Lives Across West Bank
Three young Palestinian men have been injured by Israeli gunfire during a raid on the Jalazone refugee camp north of Ramallah, as settlers simultaneously stepped up violence in the southern West Bank.
The Palestinian WAFA news agency, citing local sources, reported that Israeli forces raided the camp on Monday, shooting a young man in the abdomen with live ammunition, as well as others in the knee and hand.
In recent months, Israeli forces have escalated their acts of aggression in Jenin and its refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, increasing their military presence through home demolitions, arrests, and the repurposing of civilian structures into military bases.
Also on Monday, Israeli forces intensified their operations at the entrances to towns and villages in the Salfit Governorate. According to WAFA, the checkpoints were established near the entrance of Qarawat Bani Hassan and another at the entrance of Bruqin, located west of Salfit.
At these checkpoints, soldiers halted vehicles and inspected the identification of citizens. Additionally, they blocked the main northern entrance to Salfit for several days.
