As the Israeli army’s deadly raids continued across the occupied West Bank, a child was killed and two others were hurt in an Israeli drone strike on eastern Jenin.
The drone reportedly targeted civilians close to the Saadi family council, leading to the 14-year-old’s death, according to the Palestinian Wafa news agency.
The deadly Israeli raids, which it calls the “Iron Wall” campaign, were launched just days after a ceasefire was agreed in Gaza. At least 20 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces since then, along with dozens of other injured people in the occupied territory.
Palestinians were forced to leave their homes for six days straight as a result of the Israeli army’s extensive military operations in Tulkarem city and its refugee camp.
On Saturday, Israeli forces stormed several other areas of the occupied West Bank, including the nearby camps for refugees in Nablus and al-Ain.
A number of raids were carried out by the Israeli army, including one that involved shooting at civilians in a car on the Halhul-Hebron Bridge and arresting those inside, as well as setting a house on fire near a mosque south of Hebron.
The Israeli military also fired gas grenades at homes in Hebron’s west during a separate overnight raid, according to Wafa, while the military searched the home of freed prisoner Shehadeh al-Jiyawi.
According to the Palestinian Information Center, the Israeli military carried out arrests as well.
Israeli forces stormed into a Palestinian man’s home in Qalqilya, which is occupied West Bank. A second man, a student at Birzeit University, was arrested after Israeli forces stormed into his home in the Deir Ammar refugee camp, west of Ramallah.
At least 880 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli army and settlers’ attacks throughout the occupied West Bank since October 2023.
The occupied West Bank was described by Palestine’s Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa on Thursday as “a systematic effort to destroy the Palestinian state’s foundations.”
“We are witnessing military incursions into northern West Bank governorates, accompanied by killing, detention, infrastructure destruction, and demolition of homes and structures. This calls for immediate international action to end this.
