Three Palestinians were injured, including one in critical condition, following an Israeli airstrike targeting a Palestinian riding a motorcycle near the entrance of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. Medical sources reported that the total toll of the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip since October 7, 2023, has risen to 73,391 fatalities and 174,280 injuries.
West Bank Casualties
Ramallah: Several Palestinians, including children, suffered tear gas suffocation when occupation forces raided the village of Al-Mughayyir following a settler attack on the Sha'ab al-Loz neighborhood and attempts to storm local homes.
Masafer Yatta (Hebron): Two women, two young men, and a child suffered bruises during a settler attack on residents in the village of Umm al-Khair.
Tubas: A 16-year-old boy was injured after being beaten by settlers near the Ain Shibly checkpoint, southeast of Tubas.
Arrests and Detentions
Occupation forces arrested five Palestinians during raids across Jenin and Tulkarm:
Jenin: Ibrahim Al-Bitawei, his wife, and his daughter were arrested after forces raided a residential building near the Arab American University. Shadi Awais was also arrested from the Al-Marah neighborhood in the city.
Tulkarm: Bashar Oudeh was arrested after his home was raided in the Shweikah suburb, north of the governorate.
Qusra (Nablus): Occupation forces detained three Qusra Municipality staff members while they were en route to restore electricity to homes under siege for nearly a week.
Incursions and Settler Attacks
Occupation forces continued raiding several villages and towns across Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Bethlehem, and Jenin, firing tear gas and live ammunition in some areas, with no further injuries reported.
In Qusra, settlers continued their siege on three families' homes. Local sources noted that settlers have been trying to storm and seize one of the homes for nearly four months, having previously cut its power supply and pelted it with stones.
Settlers also attacked Palestinian vehicles in various areas of Ramallah and grazed their livestock among Palestinian homes in Sinjil and the Jabal Mufid area of Arraba, south of Jenin, assaulting local residents under the protection of occupation forces. Northwest of Nablus, settlers from an outpost on Al-Mas'udiyya lands assaulted three Palestinians, sprayed them with pepper spray, and smashed the front of their vehicle.
These attacks occur amid ongoing Israeli incursions and settler violence across the West Bank, coinciding with the continued war on the Gaza Strip.
